Chromosome heteromorphisms and paternity testing

Am J Forensic Med Pathol. 1985 Sep;6(3):199-203. doi: 10.1097/00000433-198509000-00005.

Abstract

Most of the blood group systems have now been applied to paternity investigations. In a complicated case, an alleged father not excluded with blood group testing, could be excluded with only chromosome heteromorphisms. Chromosome heteromorphisms are inherited from parents to offspring as simple Mendelian laws. The authors' paternity testing is presented with the help of chromosome heteromorphism analysis.
