However big problem when one or both parents happen to be unknown / donors and when gene therapy might substantially modify the original dna.
DNA fingerprinting is done based on the unique repeats in the micro-satelite region of the DNA, and AFAIK(with my four years of biotechnology..) gene therapy never touches a person's micro-satelite region..so DNA finger printing is still foolproof !! :) But in cases were there are identical twins..the genetic profile is same..so u need more data!!
