| How much does a paternity test cost? |
We understand that affordable testing is important to our customers! The DNA
Identity Testing Center offers a Private DNA Paternity Test for as low as
Rs.11700.00. Legal DNA Paternity Tests cost Rs.20,000.00 plus DNA collection
and/or shipping fees, if applicable. These prices include analysis of an alleged
father's, child's and, in some cases, mother's (optional) DNA samples (given
that the samples are from buccal swabs). |
| |
| What types of samples are needed for the DNA test? |
For the majority of tests, buccal swabs are used to collect cheek cell samples.
These types of samples are preferable to most others because they are an
excellent source of DNA, collection is non-invasive and we are able to offer
clients the best value. If the client wishes to submit an alternate type of
sample, it may be acceptable but before ordering let us know the type of sample
with which you would like to give for DNA test. |

| Is there a difference between the types of samples
used? |
DNA is the same in every nuclear cell of the body; therefore, there is really no
benefit to using samples other than buccal swab samples, which we prefer. For
some samples, inadequate amounts of DNA may be present, which may lead to
inconclusive results. |

| Where is the DNA test performed? |
| The testing is performed in the AABB accredited DNA Identity Testing
Laboratory in U.S. |

| Who has to have a sample taken? |
We require that the alleged father and child submit samples for
testing (paternity). The mother is always recommended to submit her sample, but
not required. Including the mother's sample in a paternity test can increase the
accuracy of the test (if it is an inclusion). |

| What if the alleged father is
unavailable? |
Testing may still be performed if the alleged father is not
available. " for details please contact us at enquiry@advanceddna.in or dna.dnaindia@gmail.com |

| What if one of the parties is deceased? |
If one or even more of the parties are deceased, there may still be
samples available to test. for details please contact us at enquiry@advanceddna.in or

| How long does it take to have a DNA
test performed? |
Once we receive all samples to be tested, test results will be
available within seven business days (standard turnaround; given that the
samples are from buccal swabs). |

| How accurate is DNA paternity testing? |
If the tested man is determined to be the biological father of the
child, the accuracy is 99.9999% and above; AKA an INCLUSION.
If the tested man is determined not to be the biological father of the child,
the accuracy is 100% (reported as 0.00% probability of paternity); AKA an
EXCLUSION. |

| Are the results accepted in court? |
| Yes, if a legal test is performed. |

| Do I need permission from a doctor or
lawyer to have a paternity test done? |
For a private DNA paternity test, neither a doctor's prescription nor
a court order is required, Private tests may be performed at any time, with or
without the consent of the sample donors. For a Legal DNA Paternity Test If a
test has been court ordered, we do request a copy of the court order for our
file. If tests are not court ordered, each test participant must give consent to
have their DNA sample tested. |

| Will results of my test be kept
confidential? |
| Yes, all communications and test results are kept strictly
confidential. Reports are sent only to the individuals who have requested the
test, unless otherwise directed by a court order. |

| Why would I need a DNA paternity test? |
DNA paternity testing (and other familial DNA testing) has many
applications! Our clients have cases involving child support, child custody,
immigration, adoption, legal inheritance and more. |

| Why is DNA useful? |
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a chemical found within the body's
cells. DNA carries the unique code of identity for every individual. Each of us,
at conception, receives half of his genes from his mother (the ovum) and half
from his father (the sperm). By analyzing, or "typing," small fragments of a
person's DNA, it is evident which genes came to him from each parent. These
genes may be tracked within a family group, from grandparent to grandchild,
uncle to niece, brother to sister and so on. Since genes are shared among
families, it is sometimes possible to "reconstruct" the probable genetic typing
for a deceased relative by testing his immediate family. For all of these
reasons, DNA typing, sometimes called DNA fingerprinting, has become a
well-accepted tool in determining biological relationships between individuals. |

| What is the difference between your
"Private" and "Legal" DNA tests? |
Our Private DNA Tests are for personal use only. For private tests,
we send a BIOSWABTM DNA collection kit to you for home DNA sample collection.
Our Legal DNA Tests are designed for use in legal matters, if necessary. For
legal tests, we must arrange for the tested parties to have their DNA samples
collected at one of our network DNA collection facilities, where a chain of
custody is established for the samples and documents involved and identities of
sample donors are verified. |

| What if the tested parties are in
different cities and states? |
DNA collection appointments can be made at multiple locations, with
no delay in process. For details please contact us at enquiry@advanceddna.in or dna.dnaindia@gmail.com |

| What if there are two possible fathers,
and they are related. Is this a problem? |
If two possible fathers are related as full brothers, half brothers,
or father and son, they may share many of the DNA markers used in paternity
testing. This means that if proper precautions are not taken, both men could
test positive as the child's biological father. DNA testing is strong enough to
determine paternity in a case involving related alleged fathers, but the
laboratory must be aware of the situation before the testing process begins. |
