DNA from each person is unique, except for identical twins Each person gets their genomic DNA in equal amounts from their biological parents People who are biologically related share more DNA than those unrelated The genetic odds in favor of paternity are termed “Paternity Index”, PI Basics of Parentage Testing
Likelihood Ratio Ratio between X and Y, PI = X / Y X = chance the alleged father contributed the paternal allele to the child (0, 0.5, or 1) Y = chance a random, unrelated individual contributed the paternal allele to the child; the frequency of the paternal allele in the ethnic group of interest Paternity Index, PI
STR analysis at D7S820 Mother = 8,9; Child = 9,10; AF = 10,11 Alleged Father is Caucasian PI = 0.5 / 0.2906 = 1.72 This means that the Alleged Father is 1.72 times more likely to be the biological father than a random, unrelated man of the Caucasian population. Example of PI Calculation
Also referred to as the PI or CPI The product of the individual paternity indices for all the genetic loci examined. Each locus must be independent, and unlinked to be multiplied together to produce the combined paternity index. Combined Paternity Index
13 CODI loci used to examine paternity Alleged Father not excluded at any locus PI at each locus as follows: CSF1PO = 3.53, D3S1358 = 2.71; D5S818 = 2.45; D7S820 = 1.72; D8S1179 = 1.95; D13S317 = 3.58; D16S539 = 2.33; D18S51 = 13.61; D21S11 = 2.20; FGA = 4.53; THO1 = 1.01; TPOX = 0.92; vWA = 2.57 Example of a Combined PI
Multiplication of all 13 individual paternity indices Combined PI = 212,390 The alleged father is 212,390 times more likely to be the biological father than a random, unrelated man on the same ethnic group Combined Paternity Index
Also known as the Likelihood of Paternity, the Plausibility of Paternity, the Relative Chance of Paternity, or the Probability Ratio Calculated using Bayesian Logic Incorporates a Prior Probability (Pr) Probability of Paternity (W)
Based on Bayes Theorem (1763) Foundation for the probabilistic approach used for the evaluation of paternity tests. Relates the probability of an AF with certain genetic markers being a member of a particular group (Biological Fathers) to the probability that a known member of the group would have the same genetic markers. Bayesian Logic
W = Pr . X / (Pr . X + (1 – Pr) . Y) W = Likelihood of an event occurring Pr = Prior Probability X = frequency with which the BF would have the same phenotype as the AF for a specific M – C combination Y = frequency with which a non-father, ie a randomly selected man, would have the same phenotype as the AF Bayes Theorem
W = 1 / (1+ Y/X) The mathematical expression of the Relative Chance of Paternity (RCP) of the AF. Bayes theorem applied to parentage testing. Hummel modification, W = X/(X + Y), expressed as a percentage Uses a neutral Prior Probability (Pr) of 0.5 Essen-Moller Equation
The probability, after genetic testing, that the AF is the BF. W is determined by integrating Prior Probability and Paternity Index by means of Bayes theorem. The Hummel modification of the Essen-Moller Equation, where a Prior Probability of 0.5 is assumed, is most often used. Values range from 0.0 to 1.0 Prior Probability
Combined Paternity Index = 50 Assume a Prior Probability of 0.5 W = 50(0.5)/50(0.5) + 1- 0.5 = 25.0 / 25.5 = 98.04% When Prior Probability is 0.5 the Probability of Paternity is PI / 1 + PI Example of Probability of Paternity Calculation
If combined PI is 50 and the Prior Probability is 0.9 then W = 50 (.9)/ 50 (.9) + 1 – 0.9 = 45 / 45.1 = 99.78 % If the combined PI is 50 and the Prior Probability is 0.1 then W = 50 (0.1) / 50 (0.1) + 1- 0.1 = 5 / 5.9 = 84.75% Examples of Other Prior Probability Values
As the Combined PI gets bigger, the value of the Prior Probability has little effect on the Probability of Paternity If Combined PI = 10,000 W when Pr is 0.1 = 99.991% W when Pr is 0.9 = 99.999% Effect of the Prior Probability
The AF is excluded as the biological father when he does not have the obligate paternal alleles With DNA testing, exclusions in two (2) systems are required before an exclusion is declared. With STR analysis, most laboratories require exclusions at three (3) loci. Exclusion of Parentage

The paternity index at a locus which shows an exclusion which may be due to a mutation is calculated as follows. PI = mutation rate at locus/power of exclusion Example: At D7S820 the mutation rate is 0.0015 The power of exclusion is 0.6 PI = 0.0015 / 0.6 = 0.0025 Paternity Index for Mutation
The ability of a genetic test to exclude a falsely accused man of paternity. It is dependent upon the actual phenotypes of M and C, and the ethnic group of the M and AF. RMNE (Random Man Not Excluded) is the frequency with which men selected at random are not excluded as the BF RMNE = 1 - A Power of Exclusion (A)
When only one or two direct exclusions are observed with more than 10 loci tested. When exclusion is based on indirect exclusions When the combined PI is less than 100 When close biological relatives are AFs When Additional Testing Needed
When both the child and AF are heterozygous and the AF does not have the obligate paternal allele. Example Locus M C AF PI D7S820 8,9 9,10 11,12 0.00 Direct Exclusion
When both the child and AF are homozygous and the AF does not share the obligate paternal allele. Example Locus M C AF PI D7S820 8,9 9 11 0.00 Here it is possible that an allele is not detected in C and AF. Indirect Exclusion
Rates vary at different loci. Rates vary for maternal and paternal. Maternal rates determined from calculation of number of times the child does not share an allele with the mother at a locus. Paternal rates determined from calculation of the number of times child does not share an allele with the BF at a locus.

Mother BD Child AB AF AC PI = X /Y Paternity Index Calculation
X is the probability that 1) M is BD; 2) AF is AC; and 3) C is AB X is the frequency of this set of three phenotypes among true trios Paternity Index
Y is the probability that 1) M is BD; 2) AF is AC; and 3) C, fathered by the alternative father, is AB Y is the frequency of this set of three phenotypes among false trios Paternity Index
p(BD) = probability of the BD phenotype p(AC) = probability of the AC phenotype Calculated using the Hardy-Weinberg Equation (2pq) The conditional probability of the C phenotype, given the phenotypes of its parents, is computed from Mendel’s First Law, the Principle of Segregation. Paternity Index
The formula for the numerator X is: X = p(BD) . p(AC) . [(0 . 0) + (0.5 . 0.5)] = p(BD) . P(AC) . 0.25 The third term is the probability that a C of a BD M and and AC father will be phenotype AB. When the C is heterozygous there are two components, in that an AB C can inherit A from the M and B from the father and vice versa. Paternity Index
The formula for the denominator Y is: Y = p(BD) .p(AC) . [(0 . b) + (0.5 . a)] = p(BD) . p(AC) . 0.5 . a The third term is the probability the C of a BD mother will be AB. It is the probability she will contribute an A allele (0) and the alternative father will contribute a B allele (b), plus vice versa. Paternity Index
When mating is random, the probability that the alternative father will contribute a specific allele to the C is equal to the allele frequency in his ethnic group. This is true whether or not the population is in H-W equilibrium at the locus. Paternity Index
PI = [p(BD) . p(AC) . 0.25] / [p(BD) . p(AC) . (0.5 . a)] = 1 / 2a The formula does not contain phenotype frequencies, thus is does not assume H-W equilibrium. This is true for any system in which the genotypes can be determined unambiguously from the phenotype, like DNA. Paternity Index

The assumption in calculating X is that the AF is the BF The assumption in calculating Y is that the AF and C are unrelated Let the phenotypes of the AF = AC and the C = AB Motherless Paternity Index Calculations
X is the probability that 1) the AF is phenotype AC; and 2) the C is phenotype AB X = p(AC) . (0.5 . b + 0 . a) = p(AC) . 0.5 . b p(AC) is the probability of the AF phenotype; 0.5 is the probability that an AC man will contribute an A allele; b is the probability that an untested woman will contribute a B allele; 0 is the probability than an AC man will contribute a B allele; a is the probability the woman will contribute an A allele. Motherless Paternity Index Calculations
Y is the probability that 1) a man chosen at random is phenotype AC; and 2) the child, the offspring of two untested parents, neither of whom are related to the AF, is phenotype AB (the probability of getting an A allele from one parent and a B allele from the other, assuming independence). Y = p(AC) . 2ab Motherless Paternity Index Calculations
PI = [p(AC) . 0.5 . b] / [p(AC) . 2ab] = 1 / 4a This formula does not assume H-W equilibrium because it involves only allele frequencies, not genotype or phenotype frequencies. Motherless Paternity Index Calculaation
