Genetic kinship analysis: A concordance study between calculations performed with the software Familias and algebraic formulas of the American Association of Blood Banks

Abstract To validate the use of software Familias 1.97, a concordance study was performed between the likelihood ratio (LR) calculations carried out with Familias (LR F ) and the algebraic formulas published by the American Association of Blood Banks (LR AABB ). Complete agreement between LR F and LR AABB was observed in all kinship cases analysed. Results confirm the efficiency and reliability of Familias for LR calculations in the tested cases.
