Overview
DNA paternity test based on 16 markers is a highly accurate method used to determine biological parentage. Samples collected from the alleged father, child, and optionally the mother are analyzed to compare genetic profiles at specific marker locations. Through DNA extraction, amplification, and genetic analysis, the test determines the likelihood of paternity by assessing the inheritance of markers. Results are reported as a probability of paternity, with high accuracy rates typically exceeding 99.9%.

Frequently Asked Questions
This test measures specific genetic markers to determine the likelihood of paternity between a parent and child. It analyses the unique variations in their DNA sequences and compares them to calculate the probability of a biological relationship.
- To establish legal and emotional bonds between a father and child
- To resolve paternity disputes or provide evidence
- To access benefits, such as inheritance rights, citizenship, or social security benefits
- To provide clarity and peace of mind for all parties involved
This test is recommended in several situations:
- For individuals who need to establish paternity
- In case of disputed parentage or custody battles
- For families seeking to confirm biological relationships
- If there are doubts or uncertainties about paternal identity
The results of the DNA Paternity 16 markers test are not typically categorised as abnormal or normal. Instead, they provide statistical probabilities of paternity. If the test indicates a high probability of paternity, it suggests a biological relationship between the alleged father and child. Low probabilities indicate an unlikely biological relationship.
- A sample will be collected from the alleged father and child, usually using a simple blood draw.
- The samples will be sent to the laboratory for analysis.
- Skilled technicians will extract DNA from the samples and analyse specific genetic markers using PCR Fragment analysis.
- Ensure you have a duly signed Paternity Consent form and relevant documents.
- Attach two passport-size photographs of the father and child to the consent form.
- Provide a photo identity proof of the father and child.
- In case of an alleged father, the mother's declaration is required.
- Prepare necessary birth certificates or other supporting documents.
DNA paternity testing using 16 genetic markers
Paternity testing is a process used to determine the biological relationship between an alleged parent and child. It provides conclusive evidence regarding whether an individual is the biological father of a child, allowing for legal, emotional, and practical considerations.
