Table 1 Cases of fortuitous matches (FM) with 15 STRs versus –presumably– real kinship between a mother (M) and/or father (F) searching a missing daughter (MD) and missing son (MS), respectively

From: Analysis of fortuitous matches in a STR genotype database from Mexico and its forensic efficiency parameters

  1. aCase 1: Alleles matching between the mother (M) with the missing daughter (MD) and the fortuitous match (FM1) are indicated in bold and underlined, respectively
  2. bCase 2: Alleles matching between the father (F) with the missing son (MS) and the fortuitous match (FM2) are indicated in bold and underlined, respectively
  3. cKey alleles shared between the father (F) and MD to establish the real kinship in case 1 respect to FM1 sample
  4. dEstimated PIs between the samples of the columns above described, before (in bold) and after applying NRC correction (italics) (Hill et al. 2013)
  5. eCells in gray indicate genotypes with modal alleles involved in the cases of fortuitous matches
