A child of a man's body is equal to his natural children; a child conceived via incest is considered just as any other child the man has and takes as a child and not grandchild.

As between the father and the child, Shers is correct. To the extent the wife of the father recieves a share, that then passes to the daughter, the child could then also recieve via the daughter/mother.
