What's New? What's often MISUNDERSTOOD?

Fact: All DNA tests are NOT the same.
Tell me why…

DNA test done at Lab "A" analyzes very few, common genes. As a result, the alleged father's genes match the genes of many individuals in the population. Such a DNA test may falsely indicate biological relationship.

DNA test done at Lab "B" analyzes a large number of genes that are not commonly present in the population. As a result, DNA test results are highly accurate and true to relationship.

Fact: "Our DNA test results are usually 99.999% accurate" - This statement tells you NOTHING about the type of DNA results YOU will receive.
Tell me why…

Would you buy a car from a dealer who tells you - "The brakes on our cars usually work"? When it comes to the future of your family, insist on DNA test results guarantee.

Insist that the DNA results YOU receive will either prove conclusively that the tested man is NOT the father (i.e.,the probability of paternity is 0%), or that the DNA results will document greater than 99.9% probability of paternity. Insist that YOU will receive no other DNA test result, GUARANTEED!

Fact: Receiving results fast, may not always be best.
Tell me why…

Highly accurate DNA results are achieved through extensive DNA testing. Occasionally, additional DNA studies are needed to produce the guaranteed level of accuracy. When it comes to the future of your family, fast is not always best.


Fact: Mouth swabs and blood samples provide equally accurate results.
Tell me why…

Your mouth and your blood contain the same DNA. The accuracy of the DNA test does not depend on what part of your body provides the test DNA. The accuracy of the DNA test depends on the number and on the type of genes that are tested.


Fact: DNA test may be done at any age, even before birth.
Tell me why…

A person acquires all of his/her DNA at the time of conception. This DNA remains the same throughout lifetime. Therefore, the accuracy of the DNA parentage test is the same throughout lifetime. Highly accurate DNA test results may be obtained before birth. See Prenatal DNA Paternity Testing


Fact: Samples in a case may be collected at different times.
Tell me why…

DNA is very stable. Highly accurate DNA parentage test results can be obtained on samples stored for years.
