title: Paternity testing: I. Calculation of paternity indexes.
abstract: An algorithm, readily adaptable to microcomputers, is given for computing paternity indexes. A closed-form expression based only on gene frequencies and phenotype structures is derived for the paternity index for a given mother/child/alleged father trio and any blood group system. This above work is applied to the problem of estimating gene frequencies from sample data.
