Laboratory tests used in cases of disputed paternity identify genetically determined gene products inherited in a dominant Mendelian fashion. Red blood cell groups, isoenzymes, serum proteins and the HLA system are the most commonly used systems in these tests. The application of DNA technology increases the scope of paternity tests and provides the court with extremely precise laboratory-based conclusions which approach near certainty.
