As a child my parents had to get a DNA test done for some legal issues. All 
these years later I'm very curious to see what it means. I've tried everything 
that I can think of to decode this to no avail. The test was to compare 
someone claiming to be my father against my DNA. The markers and the 
corresponding numbers that go with them are:
CSF1PO 13,12
Vwn 18,17
D16S539 12,11
FESFPS 12
F13B 10,8
