Aim of this study is to focus the light and report one of the important incest cases referred to Medical-Legal Institute .DNA profiles of 15 autosomal Short Tandem Repeat and Amelogenin markers were investigated for the (Father and father, s cousin, Mother and son) in DNA Typing Department. This case was rebated according to the match of all genetic markers of DNA profile of the son with that of the putative father (Mother s Father ). We conclude that the father can not be excluded from being a biological father of son who has 8 homogenous out of 15 loci suggesting high kinship relatedness between his father & mother.
