Calculation of grandparent index of single-parent intergenerational grandchildren by the family tree reconstruction method
In forensic physical evidence identification,there is currently no uniform technical specification for the identification of single-parent intergenerational grandchildren.This paper explored the identification of uniparental intergenerational grandchildren by means of a family tree reconstruction method.The formulas for the grandparental relationship index were derived and summarized based on the involvement of the child's biological mother in the identification and the different putative genotypes of the absent grandparents,respectively.
