Abstract
We present the results of the 2005 paternity testing workshop of the English Speaking Working Group of the International Society of Forensic Genetics. Blood samples from an alleged father, two children and a mother were sent to the participating laboratories. The participants were encouraged to treat the case as a paternity case, and also to consider other family relationships. A total of 62 laboratories reported results. The laboratories used a total of 42 autosomal STRs/PCR-investigated VNTRs, 22 Y-chromosomal STRs, 8 X-chromosomal STRs and 8 VNTR systems investigated with RFLP. The rate of typing and reporting errors was 0.3%. The results from a paper challenge showed that some of the rare events were treated differently in the participating laboratories.
