Maternal family members are eligible to provide blood samples for the purpose of establishing a comprehensive family reference DNA database. A family reference database that includes an mtDNA sample for each of the unaccounted-for servicemen enables comparisons between remains in support of the identification process. Families should contact their Service Casualty Office POC for details regarding sample provision. Also, a helpful eligible donor chart is provided on the possible donors page.
