Abstract
SGM Plus is one of the multiplex systems commonly used in forensic genetics, especially in analyses of biological evidences from crime scenes. In some laboratories SGM Plus is also used to establish fatherhood. One hundred and fifty excluding paternity cases and 150 including ones were analysed to check the validity of this system for paternity testing. The statistical parameters were estimated for standard and motherless cases. Power of exclusion and paternity index were analysed for each of 10 loci as well as for entire SGM Plus set. The results showed that the SGM Plus is not sufficient for paternity testing of standard cases as well as motherless ones. It gives a risk of false paternity inclusion for the cases without mother.
