Confirmation of Paternity despite Three Genetic Incompatibilities at Chromosome 2.

ABSTRACT: DNA testing in cases of disputed paternity is a routine analysis carried out in genetic laboratories. The purpose of the test is to demonstrate similarities and differences in analyzed genetic markers between the alleged father, mother, and a child. The existence of differences in the examined loci between the child and the presumed father may indicate the exclusion of biological parenthood. However, another reason for such differences is genetic mutations, including chromosome aberrations and genome mutations. The presented results relate to genetic analyses carried out on three persons for the purposes of disputed paternity testing. A deviation from inheritance based on Mendel's Law was found in 7 out of 53 STR-type loci examined. All polymorphic loci that ruled out the paternity of the
