<p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here we will deal with some slogans about what you can know through a DNA paternity test, and what you will not be able to know through it </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For this occasion, we will deal with both cases, and we will put some answers to frequently asked questions about events that usually happen, when to go to collect saliva samples, as well as to know if the father can reject a paternity test, or No. In this post we will answer you about all this.</span></p> <p> </p> <div id="tw-target-text-container" class="tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" tabindex="0"><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>What can you know from a paternity test?</strong></span></span></div> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The paternity test will tell you if the man being tested is the biological father of the child being tested.</span></p> <figure class="image"><img src="/cms/uploads/editor/20220925211110_katie-emslie-jVXWtTYQHW8-unsplash.jpg" alt="father and daughter dna photo." width="359" height="539" /> <figcaption><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><em>The paternity test helps to decipher the interpersonal <br />relationships between two or more people.</em></span></figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Once the DNA profiles of the participants (alleged father and the son or daughter) are established, the results are calculated using tried and true statistics. Such test results will generally yield a probability of paternity of 99.9% or higher, when a man is considered to be the biological father of the tested child, and 0% if DNA data shows that the man is not considered to be the biological father. .</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The sex of the paternity test participants</span></h4> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">One of the many DNA markers controlled by our laboratory during paternity tests is the "Amelogenin" or sexual gene. In this report, it is displayed as XX for females and XY for males. This is a useful process for several reasons. For example, if the child is assumed to be male and this verification shows that the child's sample is from a female, the laboratory may contact the customer for clarification to ensure that the correct samples have been submitted.</span></p> <p> </p> <figure class="image"><img src="/cms/uploads/editor/20220925211310_shawnee-d-vmYS9bent4-unsplash.jpg" alt="elderly father with two teenage brothers and sister." width="490" height="327" /> <figcaption> <p><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">When sending saliva samples to the laboratory, be careful <br />when storing them, as it can waste time and money.</span></em></p> </figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Sometimes customers accidentally mislabel samples and this process can catch this error. Please, when sending the samples, consider this to avoid making mistakes and not wasting time, thus obtaining your results efficiently.</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h3 id="tw-target-text" class="tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta" dir="ltr" data-placeholder="Traducción"><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en" style="font-size: 14pt;">What can´t you know with a paternity test?</span></h3> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">This can happen if an alleged father sent someone else's samples instead of his own.</span> If you carry out the test with a reliable and prestigious laboratory, you can be absolutely sure and calm that the results obtained are highly accurate for the samples that are given to the laboratory. But there are some parts of the test that may be outside the control of the laboratory. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Let's see some cases that can occur in this regard...</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">When testing at home, the identities of the participants are not verified by an impartial outside party or witness</span></h4> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For this reason, paternity testing will not determine whether the sample sent to the possible father is actually yours or whether sent someone else's. Similarly, a mother can submit the DNA of her friend's child instead of collecting a sample for her own child. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The laboratory cannot police this type of fraud and must assume in good faith that the submitted samples really belong to whom the participants say they belong to.When testing at home, it's best if all participants can collect their DNA in the same room, watch each other seal envelopes, and drop them off at the post office together.</span></p> <figure class="image"><img src="/cms/uploads/editor/20220925211524_nate-johnston-UpVbQxDGO3I-unsplash.jpg" alt="adult father and mother, with a daughter and son." width="382" height="573" /> <figcaption> <p><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Be responsible and serious when taking the test.</span></em></p> </figcaption> </figure> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If this is not possible, it may be advisable to pay a little more for a legal paternity test in which all DNA collection and submission to the laboratory is supervised by an authorized witness. An added benefit of this type of test is that the results can be used in court.</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Another factor: The age of the participants</span></h3> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Sometimes, if there are two alleged fathers in a case who share a parent/child relationship, it is assumed that paternity can be determined based on the fact that the father's "DNA age" would be older than his child's. The only way to determine a person's age based on their DNA would be to compare a sample taken at birth with a current sample. And even that would be an educated guess.</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Something else to add: The paternity determination of whether the alleged fathers are identical twins.</span></h3> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Identical twins have identical DNA, so it is impossible to determine paternity using affordable paternity tests at this time. To find differences between them, all their genomes would have to be sequenced, that is, about six billion markers, which would be very expensive!.</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Finally: A probability of a biological relationship other than parent/child.</span></h3> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Paternity tests are just that: DNA tests between a possible father and a child. It does not determine if the tested man is an uncle, brother, grandfather, cousin, etc. A more complete analysis is required to prove this type of biological relationship and is called a family reconstruction test.</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div class="iYB33c"> <div id="tw-tmenu" class="tw-menu"></div> <h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I want to carry out the DNA test, where can i go to collect a sample?</span></h3> <p class="tw-menu"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We have associated clinics and laboratories in most cities. If you wish to take the DNA samples directly at one of our partner clinics (instead of receiving the kit at home), contact us specifying your address, and a member of our team will contact you to refer you to the nearest branch. close to your home.</span></p> <p class="tw-menu"> </p> <figure class="image"><img src="/cms/uploads/editor/20220925211659_cdc-hOHzIsuOblE-unsplash.jpg" alt="Scientist in laboratory collecting samples and analyzing them." width="556" height="376" /> <figcaption> <p><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Remember, count on us.

You will be responsible for collecting the samples (buccal swabs) and returning them to our laboratory for analysis. </span></p> <p class="tw-menu"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The sample collection kit is easy, practical and quick to perform.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In addition, the DNA tests we offer are the cheapest in the market, at only 160 dollars. It is cheaper because by not working with third parties and intermediaries, prices and times are considerably reduced.</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Is it possible that the father can refuse to take the DNA paternity test?</span></h3> <p class="tw-menu"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The alleged father of a child has the right to refuse a court-ordered DNA paternity test, although he will face legal consequences for refusing to comply with a court order.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">DNA testing is considered a civil lawsuit, so a judge can order the parent to send a sample to a court-approved facility. If the parent refuses to take the test at this time, they may be held in contempt of court, which can have legal consequences such as fines and be considered a criminal offense.</span></p> <p class="tw-menu"> </p> <figure class="image"><img src="/cms/uploads/editor/20220925211851_vitolda-klein-oXNAGtMk8w0-unsplash.jpg" alt="adult father, with young children in park." width="526" height="349" /> <figcaption> <p><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The father may refuse, although he may face strong legal consequences for doing so.</span></em></p> </figcaption> </figure> <p class="tw-menu"> </p> <p class="tw-menu"><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If a paternity suit is filed, the court will not necessarily force the possible father to take a paternity test right away. The court will review the facts of the case first, and if there is enough information to warrant a paternity test, the court will issue an order for the test.</span></p> <p class="tw-menu"> </p> <p class="tw-menu"> </p> <div id="tw-target-text-container" class="tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" tabindex="0"> <h3 id="tw-target-text" class="tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta" dir="ltr" data-placeholder="Traducción"><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en" style="font-size: 14pt;">When the Paternity Test is not an option</span></h3> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">If the alleged father is not available for paternity testing, the next best option is to DNA test the parents of the alleged biological father (alleged grandmother and alleged grandfather) with the child. If the child becomes a minor, the consent of his legal guardian is an essential requirement and without exception.</span></div> <div class="tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" tabindex="0"> </div> <div class="tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" tabindex="0"> <figure class="image"><img src="/cms/uploads/editor/20220925212026_gift-habeshaw-XvqeCMXHwzQ-unsplash.jpg" alt="There are some cases in which a paternity test is not recommended.

If only one of the grandparents is available for DNA testing, a single grandparent DNA test is an option, however, it is important that the child's mother also performs the test, in order to achieve conclusive results.</span></div> <div class="tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" tabindex="0"> </div> <div class="tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" tabindex="0"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">However, we always recommend that, while possible, it is better and more cost-effective to obtain DNA samples from the alleged father.</span></div> <div class="tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" tabindex="0"> </div> <div class="tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" tabindex="0"> </div> <div class="tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" tabindex="0"> </div> <h3 class="tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" tabindex="0"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Contact Us</strong></span></h3> <div class="tw-ta-container F0azHf tw-nfl" tabindex="0"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Check with our offices today, contact us today and get a quick referral to a laboratory near your home.
