Abstract
This paper considers the statistical evaluation of DNA mixtures in the following situations: (1) two unknown contributors are related respectively to two typed persons, (2) two of the unknown or untyped contributors are related and the third unknown contributor is related to a typed person, or (3) there are two pairs of related unknown contributors to the DNA mixture. The corresponding formulas for evaluating the likelihood ratios on the strength of DNA evidence are derived and the kinship coefficients for the related persons are incorporated into the calculations. Two examples are analyzed for illustration.
