The GEDNAP (German DNA profiling group) blind trial concept.
This paper presents a review of the organisation and background of blind trial systems in general and in particular the system developed in Münster originally for the German Society of Forensic Medicine. This system, known as GEDNAP (German DNA profiling group), has now evolved into a multinational DNA blind trial open to all laboratories involved in paternity and forensic DNA testing.
