pedigree (mother 7,12 and child 7,12) |
Paternity case. Frequency (number on times observed): twice (mother and child); the largest set of the published Czech population frequencies (Simkova et al., 2009) had number of alleles=2822 for D16S539 without allele 7 encountered, so p=1/(2822+1)=0.000354233. |
