1 Collaborative Testing Services, Inc FORENSIC TESTING PROGRAM DNA Parentage Test No Summary Report This proficiency test was sent to 45 participants. Each participant received a sample pack consisting of the standard paternity trio, collected from a mother, a son, and the potential father. Participants were requested to analyze the samples using their existing protocols. Data were returned from 42 participants (93% response rate) and are compiled into the following tables: Page Manufacturer's Information 2 Summary Comments 4 Table 1: STR Amplification Kit(s) & Results 5 Table 2: Item 3 Paternity Index Results 27 Table 3: YSTR Amplification Kit(s) & Results 34 Table 4: Additional DNA & PI Results 42 Table 5: Paternity DNA Statistics 43 Table : Paternity Conclusions 45 Table 7: Kinship DNA Statistics 4 Table 8: Additional Kinship Statistical Results 48 Table 9: Additional Comments 51 Appendix: Data Sheet 53 This report contains the data received from the participants in this test. Since these participants are located in many countries around the world, and it is their option how the samples are to be used (e.g., training exercise, known or blind proficiency testing, research and development of new techniques, etc.), the results compiled in the Summary Report are not intended to be an overview of the quality of work performed in the profession and cannot be interpreted as such. The Summary Comments are included for the benefit of participants to assist with maintaining or enhancing the quality of their results. These comments are not intended to reflect the general state of the art within the profession. Participant results are reported using a randomly assigned "WebCode". This code maintains participant's anonymity, provides linking of the various report sections, and will change with every report.

2 DNA Parentage Test Manufacturer's Information Each sample set was a collection of known blood samples, provided on FTA Micro cards, from three individuals (Items 13); a mother, a son, and a potential father. Participants were requested to analyze these items using their existing protocols. Also included in the data sheet was a kinship exercise that consisted of autosomal DNA profiles of two individuals for comparison. Participants were requested to determine if an half sibling relationship claim was supported following the review of these profiles. SAMPLE PREPARATION: All stains were prepared from human whole blood which was drawn into EDTA tubes. Item 1 (75 μl) was blood from a female (mother) donor, Item 2 (75 μl) was from a male (son) donor and Item 3 (75 μl) was created using blood collected from a male donor who was the biological father of the Item 2 male. The different Items were prepared at separate times and were packaged once they were thoroughly dried. Completed sample sets were stored at 20 C until shipment on May 15th, SAMPLE SET ASSEMBLY: For each sample set, all three Items (13) were placed in a prelabeled sample pack envelope and sealed. The sample pack envelopes were then packaged in prelabeled Heat Seal envelopes and sealed. This process was repeated until all of the sample sets were prepared. KINSHIP EXERCISE: This exercise included allelic results representing a half sibling relationship. VERIFICATION: Laboratories that conducted predistribution analysis of the samples reported consistent results and associations. ( 2 )

4 DNA Parentage Test Summary Comments The DNA Parentage test was designed to allow participants to assess their proficiency in the analysis and interpretation of a standard trio of blood samples on FTA Micro cards. Item 1 was blood collected from a female donor (mother), Item 2 was blood collected from a male donor (son), and Item 3 was blood collected from a male donor who is the biological father of the Item 2 male. Participants were requested to analyze the samples and provide allelic and statistical results as well as relationship conclusions. Sample sets also included a kinship exercise where participants were requested to evaluate the provided DNA profiles and report the kinship index and relationship conclusions (Refer to the Manufacturer's Information for preparation details). DNA Analysis: All 42 participants who returned data reported results for STRs for all three items. The individual profiles for Item 1 and Item 3 were concordant across all participants. Item 2 had two participants with discordant results. One participant reported an allele call of at Amelogenin where the consensus was. Another participant reported a 10,3 at the D8S1179 locus where the consensus was. Lastly, all 31 participants returned concordant data for YSTR analysis for Item 2 and Item 3. Paternity DNA Statistics: Of the 42 participants who returned data, 41 provided a combined Paternity Index calculation and reported a specific population database. The FBI PopStats database and the NISTSTRBASE were reported most frequently by participants. The averaged combined Paternity Index for those participants using the FBI PopStats database is 5.7E+10 while the averaged combined Paternity Index for those participants using the NISTSTRBASE database is 3.24E+12. All the 41 participants that provided combined Paternity Index calculations generated a probability of paternity greater than or equal to 99.9%. For the paternity conclusions, all 42 participants who returned data responded that the male donor of Item 3 could not be excluded as the father of the son (Item 2). Kinship DNA Statistics: There were 22 participants who responded for the kinship exercise. Of the participants who responded, 19 reported that the Caucasian Half Sibling relationship was supported by the genetic evidence. One participant reported that there was not enough genetic evidence to make a conclusion, however the half sibling relationship could not be excluded. One participant reported that the DNA evidence did not support the proposed relationship. Another participant reported that a full sibling relationship was supported instead of half siblings ( 4 )

50 DNA Parentage Test TABLE 8 Additional Statistical Results KNB49B Data recorded above are calculated with the NIST database. Probability of relationship is 99.98%. Inhouse calculation of such a scenario would make use of inhouse database frequencies, which are based on the FBI information available in Brenner's DNAView program. Using those frequencies, the kinship index would be reported as , yielding a probability of a half sibling relationship of 99.97% (prior = 0.5). NVZV92 QHP2UT R7QKHX RCVLHR T4TUM3 VGU8YK WNA8TM YYKJYG ZDF4DJ ZHCMFG The kinship index supports the hypothesis that Half Sister is the half sibling of Half Brother using the reference populations listed. The genotype observed for Half Sister is X times more likely to occur in a half sibling of Half Brother than in someone unrelated to Half Brother from the reference populations listed where X equals: African American 30 thousand; Caucasian 2.4 thousand; Hispanic 57 thousand Half Sibling Kinship Index = 9, Posteria Probability = % Probability = %. The kinship index supports the hypothesis that Item 001.C is the half sister of Item 001.B using the reference populations listed. The genotype observed for Item 001.C is X times more likely to occur in a half sister of Item 001.B than in someone unrelated to Item 001.B from the reference populations listed where X equals: African American 30 THOUSAND; Caucasian 2.4 THOUSAND; Hispanic 57 THOUSAND By using the population database for caucasian. There is greater probability they are half siblings HSS (Half Siblings, One of each s parents are halfsiblings to each other). No conclusion could be made as to whether the two individuals are half siblings or not When comparing the male profile "Half brother" and the female profile "Half sister", a kinship index of 9318 and a probability of brotherhood of 99.99% were obtained. According to results obtained by DNAVIEW software, the kinship analysis better supports the hypothesis of full siblings instead of half siblings as suggested by the question posed (full siblings kinship index = 57540), but in any case there is a genetic evidence supporting the relationship between these two subjects. Two DNA profiles were compared by using the Caucasian population database same as previous section. There are likely to be half siblings relationship because a probability of kinship index is greater than 99.88% For scenario: pq, pq: LR = (p+q+4pq)/8pq. pq, pr: LR = (1=$p) / 8p. pq, pp: LR = (1+2p) / 4p. pq, rs: LR = 0,5. pp, pp: LR = 2p(1+p) / (2pp) Such service is not provided.

51 DNA Parentage Test BPGWF Additional Comments TABLE 9 Additional Comments PowerPlex Fusion and AmpFlstr YFiler were performed on items 2 and 3. Results were concordant at DYS391. 7FFFB 7ZA2FH 9VQKZA A2B3UC CRZKB D3UFL DGEVP4 G9CPNY JNGXGX N7ZHZX DYS391 locus was not available in the PowerPlex Fusion amplification kit to report the allele calls. The allele call at DYS391 was found to be concordant in the YFiler and PowerPlex Fusion kits for Item 2 and Item On comparison of the DNA profiles, I found that the source of bloodstained specimen Item 3 is the biological father to the source of bloodstained specimen Item 2 (given that the biological mother is represented by the source of bloodstained specimen Item 1 ). 2. Item 1, Item 2 and Item 3 were extracted insitu method and amplified using AmpFISTR Direct Kit. 3. YSTR analysis was carried out on Item 2 and Item Electrophoresis were carried out using Applied Biosystem 3130xL Genetic Analyzer. 5. Reagent blank, positive and negative control were carried out along with the analysis and gave designated result.. The statistical formula were derived by DNA View Statistical Software and calculated using Microsoft Excel. PowerPlex Fusion and YFiler results were concordant at DYS391 for samples 02A and 03A. PART III KINSHIP DNA STATISTICS (NONPARENTAGE) NOT APPLICABLE TO THIS LABORATORY. 1. I found that the donor of bloodstained specimen Item 3 is the biological father to the donor of bloodstained specimen Item 2 (given that the biological mother is represented by "Item 1"). 2. Item 1, item 2 and item 3 were extracted using insitu method and amplified using AmpFISTR Direct Kit. 3. YSTR analysis was conducted on Item 2 and item Electrophoresis were carried out using Applied Biosystem 3130xL Genetic Analyzer. 5. Reagent blank, positive and negative control were carried out along with the analysis.. The statistical formula were derived by DNA View Statistical Software and calculated using Microsoft Excel. Item 2 demonstrated concordance at DYS391 in PowerPlex Fusion and YFiler. Item 3 demonstrated concordance at DYS391 in PowerPlex Fusion and YFiler. Paternity DNA: There is 2,5E+13 times more probable to obtain the genetic results (determined DNA profiles of Mother, her Son and alleged Father) given that the alleged father is the biological father of son than to obtain the same genetic results if the examined trio are unrelated. The Alleged parent (Item 3) could not be excluded as the biological parent of the child (Item 2) based on the DNA results tested. 1. I found that the donor of bloodstained specimen Item 3 is the biological father to the donor of bloodstained specimen Item 2 (given that the biological mother is represented by "Item 1"). 2. Item 1, item 2 and item 3 were extracted using insitu method and amplified using AmpFISTR Direct Kit. 3. YSTR analysis was conducted on Item 2 and item Electrophoresis were carried out using Applied Biosystem 3130xL Genetic Analyzer. 5. Reagent blank, positive and negative control were carried out along with the analysis.. The statistical formula were derived by DNA View Statistical Software and calculated using Microsoft Excel. Powerplex 21 [Country] Caucasian Dataset used, using formula of Balding and Nichols with Theta = Assuming mother and alleged father both from this population. Powerplex 21 [Country] Caucasian Dataset also used for kinship index, also considering Theta = 0.02 and formula of Balding and Nichols. Suggestion: It would be helpful if a value was given for theta to use in these calculations to allow comparison between laboratories. ( 51 )
