Abstract (EN): In complex kinship investigation, miniSTRs and SNPs have been frequently used in order to increase the likelihood ratio (LR), when the results obtained for the most commonly used STR multiplexes were not informative enough. In this work, we describe the results obtained when using a battery of 23 STRs, 3 miniSTRs and 52 SNPs to investigate three complex paternity cases where the father was not available, and one paternity case with bone samples, from which no results could be obtained for STRs (including the 3 miniSTRs, D10S1248, D14S1434 and D22S1045). In all cases, the additional information provided by the SNPforID 52plex identification panel was enough to achieve conclusive results. © 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
