Genetic identity testing using unique short tandem repeats is known as DNA fingerprinting. The applicability of this type of testing in quality control and quality assurance space is relatively new; the methodology provides a highly sensitive tool to address specimen misidentification and/or tissue contamination (referred to as floaters or contaminate tissue fragments). The department will establish a baseline (index) of expected vs. unexpected results. After the routine workup, each case will be assigned the attribute expected vs. unexpected result and a team discussion (Huddle) will be performed to assign Positive vs. Negative to calculate the final index.
