[Application of stochastical analysis to maternity testing without putative mother].
In a maternity test in which the putative mother was deceased, the cumulative probability of maternity (PM) was calculated at 0.822 from 24 genetic markers by the stochastical method. This PM may not be evaluated in the same way as that of usual paternity cases. We applied the same method to two families whose blood relationships were undoubted. We compared the PMs in the cases in which maternal genotypes were estimated and were defined. Also, we calculated the PMs in the case of real maternal relationship and false maternal one. The estimated PM from real maternity relationship was significantly higher than that from false maternal one.
