A review of RNA markers for forensic body fluid/tissue identification in human samples notes that the miR-617 is mentioned as a specific marker for vaginal secretions [Liu et al. DOI:10.1007/s00414-025-03656-2]. Another review discussing miRNA analysis for forensic science reports that the miR-617 was differentially expressed in vaginal secretions according to Zubakov et al., contributing to body-fluid specific assays that allow unambiguous identification and discrimination of biological fluids [Courts & Madea DOI:10.1016/J.Forsciint.2010.07.002].
