Understanding The DNA Test Result by 2el(m): 3:21pm On Jul 20, 2015 |
The DNA test compares the sizes of chosen genetic markers between the samples being investigated. Each DNA marker contains two alleles, one inherited from the biological mother and the other from the biological father. The DNA test finds out whether there is at least one match out of the two alleles on the same marker from the compared samples. In a Paternity test, the Paternity Index (PI) is a statistical measure of how strongly a match using a particular marker indicates paternity. The PI’s of the markers are multiplied with each other to generate the Combined Paternity Index (CPI). This gives “the overall probability of an individual being the biological father of the tested child relative to any random man from the entire population of the same race.” (Universal Genetics DNA Testing Laboratory). “The CPI is then converted into a Probability of Paternity showing the degree of relatedness between the alleged father and child.” Universal Genetics DNA Testing Laboratory, for example, “ always achieves a 0% probability of paternity if the tested man is not the biological father and at least 99.9% probability of paternity if the tested man is the biological father. Both results are conclusive to prove or disprove paternity.” Universal Genetics DNA Testing Laboratory, as a standard laboratory, also issues a Chain-of-Custody Testing Result. The customer receives the following information: 1. All tested parties’ names as shown on their IDs presented at specimen collection 2. Listing of each tested party’s individual DNA profile 3. A Combined Paternity Index 4. A Probability of Paternity 5. A statement of conclusion 6. Copy of chain-of-custody documents including clients’ IDs, consent forms, and photos. SOME COMMON USES OF LEGAL PATERNITY TESTS In a world of poverty, too many women are abandoned to struggle alone with providing all that it takes for a child to survive and even thrive. The child’s father is comfortably at large enjoying his own life in “peace”. It often happens in Nigeria and other parts of the world that when a well-to-do man dies, there is confusion and strife over sharing of his property. Questionable claimers arise from nowhere insisting on their “inheritance”. Indeed some of them appear with physical semblance to the deceased to the shock of the known and established relations. Some babies unfortunately are born with no name of Father for their birth certificates. Child support claims, determining eligibility for inheritances, and listing a father’s name on a birth certificate are recognised common uses of paternity tests. These issues can be resolved through a Legal DNA Paternity Test. A legal DNA paternity test costs more than a non-legal DNA paternity test due to the additional requirements involved. A non-legal paternity test is also known as a home or peace-of-mind paternity test and does not need official notarization. You can do it yourself by purchasing a home DNA paternity test online. From the kit sent to you, you collect the specimens by simply rubbing a swab on the inside of your cheek as well as that of other parties to be compared in the test. You mail back to the lab all the swabs in sample envelopes following instructions provided. The results will include the same information as a legal DNA paternity test without notarization. Typically, it takes under a week for the lab to complete the job. Non- legal paternity tests, though accurate, cannot be used in court. If you want to present in court, ask for a Legal Paternity Test. (to be concluded). Source: http://thenationonlineng.net/understanding-the-dna-test-result/
