The effect of relatedness on likelihood ratios and the use of conservative estimates.

Genetica - 1 Jan 1995

Brookfield J F

Abstract excerpt

DNA profiling can be used to identify criminals through their DNA matching that left at the scene of a crime. The strength of the evidence supplied by a match in DNA profiles is given by the likelihood ratio. This, in turn, depends upon the probability that a match would be produced if the suspect is innocent. This probability could be strongly affected by the possibility of relatedness between the suspect and...
