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.
A DNA test for paternity simply analyzes a sample of the childâs DNA and compares it to the potential father to determine whether the manâs DNA is indeed present in the childâs. If the man fathered the child, his DNA will match up, in part, to the childâs DNA sample.
