Identification of latent fingerprint in crime scene is one of the most important thing for crime scene investigators. Lots of fingerprint identification methods have been developed to be applied to various kinds of evidence. Nowadays, forensic DNA typing technology showed incredible sensitivity of successful result even from fingerprint. In this study, six kinds of fingerprint identification methods including Ninhydrin, Ninhydrin with heat, DFO, iodine, RTX and CA were examined regarding to their effect to DNA profiling by quantitative analysis of purified DNA using quantitative PCR. The fingerprint chemicals were treated onto the diluted bloodstain on paper following purification of DNA after 1, 3, 5 and 7 days. RTX treatment resulted approximately 70 % decrease in DNA concentration showing the most destructive or inhibitory chemicals. Ninhydrin with heat treatment and ninhydrin only treatment showed approximately 50 % and 30 % decrease, respectively. DFO, Iodine and CA showed relatively little effect on DNA concentration of 10 % to 20 % decrease. The effect of fingerprint chemicals on forensic DNA typing was also demonstrated by STR analysis. Latent fingerprint identification and DNA typing are equally important forensic tools. It is necessary to establish a guideline for selection and sequence of latent fingerprint identification method for successful DNA typing from fingerprint.

법과학 분야는 사회정의 구현에 있어 크나큰 가치가 있음에도 불구하고 우리나라에서는 이 분야에 대한 인식이 미흡하여 선진 외국에 비해 침체되어 있는 실정이다. 이에 우리나라에서도 법과학 분야와 관련 있는 학계, 연구기관, 수사기관 등 유관 단체들로 구성된 한국 법과학회를 창립하여 이 분야를 활성화 시켜 과학수사를 한층 더 발전시키기 위함을 목적으로 한다.
