I asked this question in the pregnancy section and got little joy. What I want to know is could a DNA paternity test result by buccal swab be wrong if done in a reputable lab?

I have heard of things such as contamination and DNA mutation of the father between conception and test date (18 months on).

The sample has been in the lab over a month now awaiting the other sample to be tested. It says not to eat or smoke before, what impact could this have and is human error more common than they lead us to believe or do they even know 99.99% if they are correct?

Interested to know anybodys opinions please who is in the know.

The father of my daughter took a DNA paternity test without me and the results were inconclusive.

Now the lab has requested my boyfriend’s father to come in and give a DNA sample to clear this up.

The lab said that there was no problems with the sample. They said that the results were less than 85% and therefore need the paternal grandfather to come in for further testing.

They also said that they looked at 15 different areas and tested the 15 areas 3 times and yielded the same response.

Thank you in advance for helpful advice.

Hi everyone,

I would like to know how much does a DNA paternity test costs and how easy is to have it done and which company Lab is better.

Thanks and best regards,
Javier

Do you know what they do? Are you provided with a document that states that he is the true biological father.

Or do they simply call you to visit a private lab. I seek to obtain a legal test at a private lab and receive proof.

What I don’t want is him to create any problems like trying to obtain custody rights of my baby, and the the only thing I truly desire is to know if he is actually the father.

Any suggestions?

I’ve been trying to find a DNA lab in Arkansas to get a paternity test done.

Does anyone know where one is around Fayetteville, AR?

Please help, I can’t find anything.

If I opted to use DNA testing, would a lock of hair be sufficient?

What DNA labs conduct test results that can be used for paternity purposes?
