PedExpert is a Windows-based Bayesian network software, especially constructed to solve problems in parentage testing that are complex because of missing genetic information on the alleged father and/or because they involve genetic mutations. PedExpert automates the creation and manipulation of Bayesian networks, implementing algorithms that convert pedigrees and sets of indispensable informati...

In parentage testing when one parent is excluded, the distribution of the number of loci showing exclusion due to mutations of the transmitting alleles is derived, and it is contrasted with the expected distribution when the exclusion is caused by nonpaternity. This theory is applied to allele frequency data on short tandem repeat loci scored by PCR analysis, and VNTR data scored by Southern bl...

study clinic and has referred to her for examination and study large numbers of children from foreign, industrial communities. It is her custom to include the Stanford Binet in a minimum examination schedule. In dealing with the child of foreign nativity or foreign parentage it is clearly necessary to evaluate very carefully mental age scores based on tests involving language. The particular pr...
