A method of calculating the probability of paternity, based upon Bayes' theorem, for Rh blood groups has been developed. Tables have been prepared for calculation of the probability of paternity for the most common levels of testing, i.e., with five anti-sera (anti-C, -D, -E, -c, -e), with four (anti-C, -D, -E, -c) and with three (anti-C, -D, -E). The same probabilities at other levels of testing can be calculated by applying the method and tables presented in this paper. Since the tables presented herein include calculations for chromosomes which appear to occur but rarely as far as known to date, these tables can be applied to all populations with different chromosome frequencies.

The author wishes to thank Prof. S. Ueno, University of Tokyo, and Prof. Y. Komatu, Tokyo Institute of Technology, for helpful advices which they have given in the present study.

Sommario

SOMMARIO

Un metodo di calcolare la probabilità della paternità, basato sul teorema di Bayes, è stato sviluppato per i gruppi di sangue Rh. Sono state preparate delle tabelle per il calcolo della probabilità di paternità per i livelli più comuni di prove, cioè, con cinque antisieri (anti-C, -D, -E, -c, -e), con quattro (anti-C, -D, -E, -c) e con tre (anti-C, -D, -E). Le stesse probabilità negli altri livelli di prove possono essere calcolate applicando il metodo e le tabelle presentati in questa relazione.

Poiché le tabelle qui presentate includono i calcoli per i cromosomi che appaiono molto raramente, per quanto si sa al presente, queste tabelle si possono applicare a tutte le popolazioni con differenti frequenze cromatiche.
