Probability of Exclusion (PE) of the HLA-A,B System in North American Whites and Blacks
Conference paper
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.
