title: Algorithm for the computation of plausibilities of paternity in the HLA system.
abstract: An algorithm for the calculation of plausibilities of paternity for the HLA system is presented, which is based on the concept of the game of domino. The algorithm can be used for any system with 2 linked autosomal loci and can be easily reduced or extended to systems with 1 locus or more than 2 linked loci.
