由于评估性报告的理论和技术复杂性以及法医专家和法律专业人员之间的专业知识差异很大，在司法行政中传达和解释遗传证据目前是一个令人极为关切的问题。已经采取了大量举措，试图弥合这一差距，促进双方的教育。然而，结果并不令人鼓舞，因为大多数这些举措试图在全球范围内科普这个问题，同时解决理论和技术方法，而这些方法的发展和验证状态相当不一致。因此，所产生的文件的广泛性和复杂性使专业人员（法学家和遗传学家）对它们的研究感到沮丧，甚至在遗传学专家群体中也很难达成共识。在这里，我们提出了一个“回到基本”，例子驱动的方法，在法医实验室所面临的两个最常见的情况下，提出了一个模型报告。我们确实希望这一战略将为逐步推广提供坚实的基础。(C)2016爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
Communicating and interpreting genetic evidence in the administration of justice is currently a matter of great concern, due to the theoretical and technical complexity of the evaluative reporting and large difference in expertise between forensic experts and law professionals. A large number of initiatives have been taken trying to bridge this gap, contributing to the education of both parties. Results however have not been very encouraging, as most of these initiatives try to cope globally with the problem, addressing simultaneously theoretical and technical approaches which are in a quite heterogeneous state of development and validation. In consequence, the extension and complexity of the resulting documents disheartens their study by professionals (both jurists and geneticists) and makes a consensus very hard to reach even among the genetic experts' community. Here we propose a 'back-to-basics', example-driven approach, in which a model report for the two most common situations faced by forensic laboratories is presented. We do hope that this strategy will provide a solid basis for a stepwise generalisation. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
