Confirms paternal isodisomy of chromosome 3 using short tandem repeat (STR), next-generation sequencing (NGS-STR), and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) forensic DNA analysis. Demonstrates UPD can cause false exclusions in mother–child relationship testing. Shows increased STR loci may worsen interpretation in secondary kinship testing with uniparental disomy (UPD). Recommends software alerts for inconsistencies confined to a single chromosome.
