If the DNA patterns between mother, child, and the alleged father match on every DNA probe, the likelihood of paternity is 99.9 percent. To conduct DNA testing, either a blood test known as Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) or a procedure called a Buccal scrap is used.
Medical Genomics is currently analysing 16 STR loci for each DNA sample, which gives us a probability of 99.9999% in confirming alleged paternity (maternity). There is no difference in the testing procedure between this type of test and paternity (maternity) testing.
