Are Home Paternity Tests Accurate?

The accuracy of a Home DNA Paternity Test result will depend on a number of factors. Here are a few of the factors that should be considered are as follows.

1. How well did you collect your DNA samples and the condition in which they were kept before you shipped your DNA kit back to the lab?

2. Although, A lab’s handling and processing of DNA specimens are accurate more times than not. Remember, We are dealing with human beings and sometimes human error can occur.

3. A rare genetic mutation that the DNA lab may not be able to identify during the DNA testing process. If this is the case. We suggest if you are aware of any rare genetic mutation a child or parent performing the DNA test may have. Please notify one of our DNA Relationship Testing Consultants before performing a paternity test. This way, The our Consultant can confirm with the Lab Director whether or not the genetic mutation may affect your paternity test result.

These are some of the possibilities that may affect the accuracy of a Home Paternity Test Kit result.
