The results of a paternity test include a list noting the different DNA markers tested (the DNA profile), the Probability of Paternity, and a value for the Combined Paternity Index (listed as PI in the table at the top of the page, upper left) indicates the strength of the match at each Locus (DNA location). The DNA profile is the raw data on which the statistical calculations are made.
The results are interpreted as follows:
If a man is considered the biological father, the report contains the following:
A concluding statement that the alleged father is NOT Excluded as the biological father of the tested child. This means that he cannot be ruled out statistically and is considered the biological father of the child.
A combined paternity index (CPI), which is the probability that the man is the father of the child. For example, a CPI of 43,110,000 means that there is a 43,110,000 to 1 chance that someone other than the man who was tested is the biological father.
A probability of paternity, which is the chance, given as a percentage, that the man is the father. In general, it is 99.9% or more, which would read: there is a 99.9% probability that this man is the biological father of the child.
If a man IS NOT considered the biological father, the report contains the following:
A concluding statement that the alleged father is “Excluded” as the biological father of the tested child. This means that you are not considered the biological father.
A combined paternity index Combined Paternity Index (CPI), which is the probability that the man is the father of the child. For an exclusion, this number is always 0
A probability of paternity, which is the chance, given as a percentage, that the man is the father. For an exclusion, this number is always 0.
