Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: When the mother's DNA profile is not available for paternity testing, there is a smaller probability that a locus will exclude an alleged father. This study aims to evaluate the risk of potential false paternity inclusions in motherless cases. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: More than 20 000 duos were generated by removing the maternal genotypes from exclusion trios. After recalculating paternity in these...
