Two PCR amplified loci and 3 single locus DNA probes were applied in a paternity case in which a married woman became pregnant after being raped. DNA analysis were performed using samples from the woman, her husband and amniotic fluid cells taken during the 16th week of pregnancy. The combined probability of paternity for her husband was calculated as 0.999997107. The application of PCR analyses and single locus DNA probes were considered to be extremely informative in prenatal paternity testing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
