Figure 1 :

Schematic representation of a hypothetical case of paternity dispute showing the STR vWA locus typing result of the alleged father, the child and the mother with allelic ladders run adjacent to the test samples. Note that the allelic number assignment commences from the bottom and ascends by one unit increment to the top. Reading of the profile is easy and unambiguous - Alleged Father – [13,15]; Child – [14,15]; Mother – [14,14]. The alleged father cannot be ruled out as the biological father.
