A Gc silent allele encountered in a paternity case.
A father-child incompatibility only in the Gc system was detected in a paternity case tested at our laboratory. Quantitative determination revealed that the Gc level in the two individuals was less than 50% of the normal mean value. Evaluation of the probability calculation for the putative father using all other markers showed that he was the biological father with a very high probability. Thus it was concluded that a silent allele Gc*QO was transmitted from the father to the child.
