Summary. Parentage analysis has revealed a high probability that a man accused of paternity is the biological father of a male child. The child in this study, however, was the twin of a female child who could not have been fathered by the accused man. The mother of the children subsequently accused a second, unrelated man, who was excluded from paternity of the boy, but was very probably the biological father of the girl.
