Über die Verteilung der Rhesusfaktoren in der deutschen Bevölkerung und ihren Wert für das Vaterschaftsausschlussverfahren

Abstract

SUMMARYI. The results are reported of Rh—Antigens examinations on 61 families with together 154 children and on 423 mother—child relations. No deviations from the theory of inheritance concerning the Rh-Caracteristics could be noticed.II. The results obtained by examination of 2472 persons concerning the distribution of the Rh-types C, c, D and E in the German population makes it possible to obtain safe conclusions concerning the Rh-type representative for us and its use to the forensic paternity exclusion by calculating the application of the type (acc. to Hirszfeld). There is a far-reaching correspondence between our observations and Anglo-American (Wiener and Race), and Norvegian reports (Hartmann and his staff), about the distribution of the types.III. A survey of paternity exclusions as observed from our material substantiates the theoretic conclusions and shows also in practice the importance of the RH-Antigens of certain characters (C, c, D and E) for the forensic medicine.
