You can typically reduce the time line by 2 days if the mother
is included in the test.
Reasons for delays
| Sibling studies require hand calculations (3-4 weeks) |
| Twin Studies require hand calculations (2-3 weeks) |
| Incomplete authorization form sent in with samples
(missing information) |
| Test results had single or double exclusion (must be at
least 3 to be released) |
| Gel failure (must rerun test) |
| Unusual sample (hair, gum, etc.) |
| Unknown race which causes the results to be hand calculated |
| Related alleged fathers usually result in additional
testing |
| There is always a risk, though slight, of a sample not
containing enough DNA for the test. This is due to collection error or
the clients' mouth's conditions (dry mouth, excessive tobacco usage,
etc.). We will send you another collection kit at no charge. |
| Low Paternity Index - If all the DNA systems match
between the alleged father and child, usually the result indicates a
99.9% probability of paternity. Sometimes, however, the genes shared
between the alleged father and child are so common that the probability
of paternity doesn't reach 99%. Further testing will likely reveal
additional matches and will increase the probability to a minimum of
99%. |
