The paternity testing or DNA testing of the Centro Gendiagnostik is performed by professionals with extensive experience in the area of human molecular genetics, who have studied in Germany and the United State of America, among other countries. DNA testing is the generation of DNA profiles of the people involved [usually the mother, alleged father(s) and child (s)], and the comparison and statistical analysis of these profiles. DNA profiles are obtained mainly using 16 polymorphic regions of DNA, also known as the genetic markers, which have great resolution to establish the differences and similarities between people.
The DNA test requires a sample from a buccal swabs of the alleged father and child. Mother sample is optional, but is preferable since it facilitates the analysis. The probability of paternity (typically> 99.9 %) or exclusion of fatherhood (0 %) is obtained as a result of a statistical calculation based on the genotypes (alleles) determined in the loci (genetic markers) under study, which can be identify in the father, son and the mother.
You can ask and learn more about the requirements for the paternity test , DNA testing or other similar through direct communication with the Centro Gendiagnostik staff. You order a kit with the need for paternity testing for a minimal cost for the completion of a private DNA test material. This kit also includes a description of how to sampling. The results will be ready in a period no longer than 10 days.
