Application of Gm Typing in Cases of Disputed Paternity

CODEN: JFSCAS

Abstract

What is the current status of employing human blood groups to exclude paternity? Dr. A. S. Wiener [1] believes that the problem of qualification of experts is still the main factor for forensic immunogenetics. In discussing exceptions to blood group inheritance and mutations, Dr. Wiener wrote that the problem of Bombay bloods, Rh null, Mg, etc. has had little effect—since the frequency is of the same order of magnitude as mutation which has always been with us.
