Table 3.

Forensic DNA testing of proband’s semen confirms paternity of the second son DDC DNA test report. The proband’s semen contains two cell lines with multiple alleles present at each locus. The combined paternity index (CPI) of 134,323 was calculated using minor alleles

Interpretation:
Combined paternity index: 134,323 Probability of paternity: 99.9993%
The alleged father is not excluded as the biological father of the tested child. Based on testing results obtained from analyses of the DNA loci listed, the probability of paternity is 99.9993%. This probability of paternity is calculated by comparing an untested, unrelated, random individual of the Caucasian population (assumes prior probability equals 0.50).
