Her admixture was added to the DDP spreadsheet and she is actually white with 100% European ancestry, so I guess the LE changed it on Namus as well, it happened before with other casesI'm not sure when this was changed, but NamUs now lists this Jane Doe as only White, not Asian or Native American as stated earlier. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
I wonder if this info comes from the DNA Doe Project's analysis, although the spreadsheet hasn't been updated with her admixture yet.

Massive jump this week for Houlton Jane Doe.
They haven't updated the spreadsheet in 9 months or so.Bumping case up.
Are you still able to see DNA Doe Project updates and how this case is going?
And does she have any rule-outs by now?The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Thanks.
In theory, yes. However, to my knowledge, most forensic DNA testing is only for comparing against potential matches. I've never heard of the types of testing used to diagnose genetic disorders (like karyotyping or microarray testing) done in an UID case. It's definitely expensive, but so is funding for genetic geneology, but I can't think of a reason why it couldn't be done. Diagnostic tests like microarray don't require living cells, and while they can't detect disorders caused by very small mutations, they're pretty comprehensive. (So they can't rule out all genetic disorders, but they can rule in certain ones.)Would dna examination be able to rule out genetic disorders?
