Abstract:

This article is concerned with the management of the disputable situations arising in the course of establishment of the kinship based on the analysis of autosomal STR loci. It is proposed to enhance the accuracy of determining the kinsip relations in the parent-child pairs (in the absence of one of the parents) by using additional sets of genetic markers localized for example on sex chromosomes, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and bi-allele markers.
