Abstract
We present the results of the 2001 paternity testing workshop of the English speaking working group of the International Society for Forensic Genetics. In total, 36 laboratories participated. The scenario was an alleged father and two children who were known to be children of the same non-investigated mother. All laboratories drew the correct conclusion. The laboratories used a total of 58 PCR-based systems, 14 conventional systems and 10 RFLP-based systems. The workshop also included a paper challenge. The results here revealed that occurrences of rare alleles, mutations and possible silent alleles were treated very differently among the participating laboratories.
