    Study Notes

    Disputed Paternity

    • Definition of Paternity: Parenthood; paternity testing uses genetic methods to determine relationships, often between parents and children.

    • Methods of Disputed Paternity (Pre-DNA Era): Witness testimony, cultural norms, and early scientific methods like blood typing, which were less accurate and often inconclusive.

    Human Genetically Controlled Markers Systems

    • Pre-DNA Era Markers:
      • Blood groups (ABO system, Rh factor)
      • Enzyme groups
      • Protein groups
      • HLA (Human Leukocytes Antigen)
      • DNA Fingerprints

    Types of Paternity Testing

    • Prenatal Testing:

      • Non-Invasive: Uses the mother's blood to analyze fetal DNA fragments; no risk to the fetus.
      • Invasive: Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) used to collect fetal DNA, carries a risk to the fetus.

    • Postnatal Testing: Performed after birth.

    Inheritance of Blood Groups (ABO System)

    • Mendel's Law: Three inheritable factors: A and B are dominant, O is recessive.
    • Inheritance Pattern: Children inherit one factor from each parent, determining their blood type.
    • Blood Group Combinations:
      • AB (rarest)
      • O (most common)
      • AO/BO - A or B group

    Rh Factor

    • Inheritance: Inherited by two genes: D (dominant) and d (recessive).
    • Homozygous Rh-ve Woman and Homozygous Rh+ve Man: Child will be Rh+.
    • Heterozygous Rh+ve Woman and Heterozygous Rh+ve Man: Child may be Rh+ or Rh-.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Blood Typing

    • Advantages: Easy, rapid, cheap, 100% exclusion.
    • Disadvantages: Inaccurate for conclusive proof, multiple matches possible (many people can share the same blood type).

    Enzyme Groups

    • Definition: Polymorphic enzymes (e.g., lactate dehydrogenase) primarily in red blood cells, tested through electrophoresis.
    • Advantages: Rapid, non-expensive.
    • Disadvantages: Non-conclusive alone.

    3-Protein Groups

    • Definition: Analyzes inherited proteins and enzymes (e.g., haptoglobins, immunoglobulins).
    • Advantages: Moderate exclusion power.
    • Disadvantages: Could not definitively prove paternity; low accuracy.

    HLA (Human Leukocytes Antigen)

    • Definition: Analyzes antigens on white blood cells.
    • Advantages: Alone, 98% probability of paternity.
    • Disadvantages: Difficult, expensive technique.

    DNA Typing (DNA Profiling)

    • PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction): Amplifies small DNA samples.
    • STR (Short Tandem Repeat) Analysis: Compares short DNA sequences at specific locations. Highly accurate and the most common method for modern paternity testing.
    • Y-Chromosome Testing: For testing relationships between males; Y-chromosome passes from father to son.
    • Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Testing: Primarily for maternal lineage; can assist in complex paternity cases

    DNA Testing Process

    • Sample Collection: Buccal (cheek) swabs, blood samples, hair follicles, other tissues.
    • Analysis (STR): Analyzing DNA sequences.
    • Report Generation: Reporting results.

    Probability of Paternity

    • Results expressed as a probability. 99.9% probability indicates inclusion (the man is the father). 0% indicates exclusion.

    Paternity Testing Inclusion/Exclusion

    • Inclusion: DNA profile of alleged father matches the child's, confirming biological relationship.
    • Exclusion: DNA profile of alleged father does not match, excluding that person as the biological father.

    Ethical Considerations

    • Informed consent required for all parties.
    • Privacy and confidentiality of test results must be maintained.
    • Rights of the child central to the use of paternity testing.
