Summary

The blood samples of 2741 people from Germany were examined. The gene frequencies of Jka was found to be 0.49345 and of Jkb 0.50655. The theoretical probability of exclusion lies at 18,57 %, the practiacl one only at 7.09 %, because, in many cases, the presumptive father is also the biological father. It is a system of dependable information. The Kidd system can be used as a classical system for exclusion of parentage.

Zusammenfassung

Es wurden 2741 Personen aus dem süddeutschen Raum untersucht. Die Genfrequenzen für Jka lauten 0,49345 und für Jkb 0,50655. Es ergibt sich eine theoretische Ausschlußwahrscheinlichkeit von 18,57 % und eine praktische von lediglich 7,09 %, weil in vielen Fällen der vermutete Vater auch der biologische Vater ist. Es handelt sich um ein System mit hohem Informationsgehalt. Einem klassischen Ausschluß kann volle Beweiskraft zugesprochen werden.
