Summary

DNA testing using hypervariable DNA probes provided highly affirmative evidence of paternity. This advanced DNA analysis was significantly more informative than traditional blood group and HLA markers for establishing parentage.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Human Genetics

Background:

  • Traditional paternity testing using blood group and Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) markers did not exclude paternity in a specific case.
  • A putative father requested more conclusive evidence to confirm parentage.
