Paternity testing by using erythrocyte enzyme esterase D.
A total of 206 paternity cases were tested for the erythrocyte enzyme esterase D (EsD) along with the 15 genetic marker systems routinely phenotyped. Of 39 observed exclusions of falsely accused males, 5 were exonerated by EsD. Reliability and ease of testing indicates that EsD is a useful exclusion determinant.
