Abstract
Although it is well known that the HLA system is the single most powerful genetic system commonly used in parentage testing, its efficiency with currently available antisera in excluding a falsely accused man has not been well documented. Various estimates have yielded values which range from 86–96%.1–4 This value will, of course, vary with the number of known alleles, their gene frequencies, the extent of testing, and the criteria used to define the antigens.
