Population stratification in Argentina strongly influences likelihood ratio estimates in paternity testing as revealed by a simulation-based approach.

Abstract excerpt

A simulation-based analysis was carried out to investigate the potential effects of population substructure in paternity testing in Argentina. The study was performed by evaluating paternity indexes (PI) calculated from different simulated pedigree scenarios and using 15 autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) from eight Argentinean databases. The results show important statistically significant differences between...
