Abstract excerpt
The present study evaluates the usefulness of a PCR-based method for routine paternity testing in 35 paternity cases. This identification method which is based on amplification of three hypervariable genetic loci, apoB, D1S80 and HLA-DQ alpha, is compared, with regard to reliability and technical feasibility, to the conventional identification methods based on protein polymorphisms and to Southern blot...
