Red cell acid phosphatase phenotypes were determined in 517 unrelated persons from Sweden (317 men, 200 women). The observed gene frequencies were pA = 0.372; pB = 0.558; pC = 0.070.

Experiences in 101 cases of disputed paternity with 167 men involved are reported. On grounds of red cell acid phosphatase phenotypes, ig men (in 18 cases) could be excluded.

In all 112 mother-child combinations studied the distributions of phenotypes were in agreement with the genetical hypothesis suggested by Hopkinson et al (1963).
