Summary. The results of the application of the C3 system to 155 cases of
disputed paternity are presented. In this preselected material (none of the 234
accused men could be excluded by any of the usual markers of red blood cells
and serum) 23 men were excluded. Of these 23 exclusions, 17 could be
examined in the HLA-system and were confirmed by this system. In 211
mother-child pairs no theoretically impossible combinations were observed.
Key words: Blood groups, C3 system - Complement
Zusammenfassung. Das C3-System wurde bei 155 Fallen strittiger Vaterschaft
eingesetzt. Es handelte sich um ein ausgelesenes Untersuchungsgut, da in allen
Fallen die 234 beschuldigten Manner durch den Einsatz der iblichen gene-
tischen Erythrozyten- und Serummerkmale nicht auszuschlieBen waren. 17
der 23 ausgeschlossenen Probanden konnten im HLA-System untersucht
werden, wobei alle Ausschlhsse bestatigt wurden. Die C3-Typisierung von 211
Mutter-Kind-Paaren erbrachte keine Abweichungen von der Erbregel.

Since the discovery of the C3 polymorphism in man [1-4] it has been intensively
studied from two points of view: population genetics and forensic application.
The numerous studies of the frequency in different populations and of the in-
heritance were summarized by Rittner and Rittner [5], and by Geserick [6]. The
results of C3 typing in our population (n = 1326; allele frequency: C3F = 0.1836,
C35 = 0.8130, C3a = 0.0034) and of family studies have been given elsewhere [7].
In addition, we have previously reported on 240 families typed with the Pt tech-
