Adopts NAME sample retention in young sudden deaths; extends genetic evaluation to at-risk relatives.
Standardized retention of postmortem samples for DNA banking is recommended to facilitate genetic testing and identify potentially treatable genetic diseases in surviving relatives of young sudden death victims.
Middleton et al. (2013) conducted a review in Sudden unexpected death. Postmortem sample retention for genetic testing was evaluated. The National Association of Medical Examiners provides recommendations for retaining postmortem samples to facilitate DNA banking and genetic testing following sudden unexpected death in young persons.
