Sequencing of FES, vWA and SE33 STRs in mother–child incompatibilities

Our casuistic in paternity testing showed several isolated incompatibilities present in different STRs like FES, SE33, vWA, among others, include homozygote and heterozygote situations, and appear both in father–child and mother–child pairs. As we assume, in paternity testing, that the mother is the real one, most of incompatibility situations are assigned to a mutation in putative father. In fact, only sequencing allows the real explanation for the event.
