**2.6 Other fragments**

Out of 7 cases of sternum analysis, only three cases gave positive results in determination of stable autosomal STR profile. There have been several cases of examination of fragments of the lung, cancellous bone, calcaneus, vertebrae (without specifying localization). The profile was obtained in all indicated cases. When examining the bones of the pelvis and phalanges of the fingers, the genetic profile has not been established.

Thus, a stable genetic profile was often obtained in long bones of upper and lower limbs and ribs compared to the other bone fragments (**Table 1**).
