How accurate is DNA testing?
DNA paternity testing is the most accurate method currently available
for determining familial relationships. The test will indicate with 100%
certainty if the tested male is not the biological father for exclusion
of paternity and will demonstrate with greater than 99.9% probability
that the tested male is the biological father for inclusion of paternity.
Who needs to be tested?
For a typical DNA paternity test, a sample is collected from the mother,
child and alleged father. Paternity can also be accurately determined
in the absence of the mother, by testing only the child and alleged father.
A DNA paternity test can be performed on individuals at any age, even
prenatally!
What if the individuals involved in the test live
in different cities?
A paternity test can be performed even if the different parties involved
live in different parts of the country. YesuBio has a network of over
400 facilities across Canada. Individuals involved in the same test can
attend an appointment at different times and in different cities. After
specimen collection, the specimens for each case will be tested together
in the laboratory.
How long does the test take?
The specimen collection appointment is 15 minutes in duration. Results
are available approximately 3 to 5 working days after your appointment.
What is needed?
In most cases, a small blood sample is collected during your appointment.
A DNA sample may also be obtained painlessly from the mouth with a cotton
swab (buccal swab). Most of YesuBio's facilities are equipped and trained
for both blood as well as buccal swab collections. You may choose the
collection method that you prefer during the time of your appointment.
For newborns, DNA paternity test can be performed safely using umbilical
blood from the umbilical cord. In unusual circumstances, DNA can even
be collected from other sources, such as bone, hair, old blood samples
or stains, semen, saliva, or even from a deceased individual.
Can testing be done before the child is born?
Yes. Testing can be done using amniotic fluid (obtained by amniocentesis)
as early as the 14th week of pregnancy.
What if the mother cannot be tested?
Paternity can be accurately determined even if the mother is not tested.
Where are the Samples Collected?
