Summary

This study explains key quantitative indices for paternity testing, including probability of exclusion (PE) and probability of paternity (PP). These methods assess the informative value of expert opinions in paternity disputes.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Genetics
  • Anthropology

Background:

  • Paternity testing relies on quantitative indices to establish biological relationships.
  • Standardized methods are crucial for accurate and reliable paternity case evaluations.
  • Foreign professional literature commonly employs specific statistical measures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss fundamental quantitative indices used in paternity testing.
  • To introduce the application of these indices in the context of HLA laboratory studies.
  • To provide an overview of paternity index calculations and their significance.

Main Methods:

  • Mean probability of exclusion (PE): Measures the informative value of expert opinions.
  • Relative mutation effect (RME): Calculates the frequency of excluded men in a population.
  • Probability of paternity (PP): Determines the likelihood of paternity for a specific trio (mother, child, accused man).

Main Results:

  • The study introduces three core quantitative indices: PE, RME, and PP.
  • These indices serve as standard methods in international professional literature for paternity cases.
  • Presents findings from the HLA laboratory in Olomouc spanning 1976-1991.

Conclusions:

  • The discussed quantitative indices are essential for robust paternity testing.
  • Consistent application of these methods enhances the reliability of expert opinions.
  • The Olomouc HLA laboratory data provides empirical support for these established indices.
