Paternity determination when the alleged father's genotypes are unavailable

Forensic Sci Int. 2001 Dec 1;123(2-3):202-10. doi: 10.1016/s0379-0738(01)00550-3.

Abstract

In paternity testing using the DNA evidence, analysis of the deficiency case when the DNA profiles of the alleged father are not available is different from that of the case with complete evidence. In this paper, we describe how to evaluate and determine the paternity in the deficiency case, by comparing the paternity indexes of the true father and the falsely non-excluded man.
