Understanding paternity test results
by beachbummette, Dec 07, 2007 10:17AM
I was recently part of a paternity test. I am hoping for a non-bias review of the results. The results are as follows:
Child/Father
D3S1358 15,16 / 16,17
D7S820 10,11 / 11
vWA 15,16 / 15,16
FGA 20, 22 / 21, 22.2
D8S1179 13 / 13,14
D21S11 30, 35 / 29, 30
D18S51 18 / 14, 18
D5S818 10, 11 / 11, 12
D13S317 11, 12 / 8, 12
D16S539 11, 12 / 9, 11
TH 8, 9.3 / 8, 9.3
TPOX 8, 11 / 8, 11
CSF1PO 10, 11 / 11, 12
Based on these results, what is your opinion on paternity probability?
Mother's results on same markers:
15, 17
11, 13
15, 18
22
13, 14
32.2, 35
18
10
11, 13
12
6, 8
11
11, 12
I am confused by genetic mutations and parentage versus kin/relation. Is it common for paternal alleles to have more exact combinations (ie. vWA, TH, TPOX) than maternal?
Please help me understand!
Thanks!

I am sorry that I cannot answer your question in the forum. A genetic counselor could help you interpret your results in a consultation. You can find a genetic counselor through the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) or through companies like mine, DNA Direct.
