We report the experience of a laboratory that was charged by a Court to conduct an analysis to establish the paternity of a woman: her mother was alive, the alleged father was deceased, but three of his brothers, were available for analysis. So the paternity testing was performed on 5 subjects by analyzing 15 different DNA markers (by using Identifiler Kit). The btained results, showed two genetic incompatibility, and a discrepancy for a marker among the three brothers. The paternity investigation was concluded with an exclusion. However, a second laboratory was responsible for carrying out the alleged father exhumation. The obtained results showed incompatibility for all the 8 polymorphisms analyzed and confirmed what previous analysis conducted by the first laboratory had evidenced.

Abstract
We report the experience of a laboratory that was charged by a Court to conduct an analysis to establish the paternity of a woman: her mother was alive, the alleged father was deceased, but three of his brothers, were available for analysis. So the paternity testing was performed on 5 subjects by analyzing 15 different DNA markers (by using Identifiler Kit). The btained results, showed two genetic incompatibility, and a discrepancy for a marker among the three brothers. The paternity investigation was concluded with an exclusion. However, a second laboratory was responsible for carrying out the alleged father exhumation. The obtained results showed incompatibility for all the 8 polymorphisms analyzed and confirmed what previous analysis conducted by the first laboratory had evidenced.
