Table 11.4
With the mother's genotype from the paternity case shown in Table 11.2 we can
recalculate the paternity index for what is now a motherless case. The results, while still providing
very strong support for paternity, are approximately 28-fold weaker than when the mother was
available for testing

This chapter so far has discussed paternity testing. Needless to say, on rare occa-
sions there is also the need to undertake maternity testing. The same principles and
methods apply. In addition to parentage testing, more complex relationships can be
