(1) "Genetic markers" means separate identifiable genes or complexes of genes

generally isolated as a result of blood typing, at least seven (7) of which are

normally tested in a paternity proceeding.

(2) "Genetic tests" means blood or tissue typing tests including, but not limited to, tests

of red cell antigens, red cell isoenzymes, human leukocyte antigens, serum proteins,

electrofloresis, or deoxyribonucleic acid.

(3) "Paternity index" means the commonly accepted indicator used for denoting the

paternity tests following accepted statistical principles for the computation of

probability, shall be in accordance with the method of expression accepted by the
