Evidence on incest based on homozygosity. The use of multiple hypervariable probes for the probable detection or exclusion of incest.
An opinion is sometimes requested on the future health of a child who is up for adoption when parental incest is a realistic possibility and it is impossible or inexpedient to acquire blood from both parents. In such circumstances evidence of incest may be obtained by an analysis of blood from the child alone.
