Conclusions


From the analysis of the loci, we can exclude Child 1 as coming from those grandparents. Even with the possibility of mutation, the mutation rate is not high enough to make the number of differences we see. Child 2 matches for all loci, which supports the claim of ancestry. Without more probability information, we cannot conclude unambiguously that the child came from this family.
