TEST PATERNITY (NO CUSTODY CHAIN)

The analysis consists of the study of 15 small tandem repeats genetic polymorphisms, without revealing any additional genetic information about the individual.
The polymorphisms analyzed are validated by the International Society of Forensic Genetics (ISFG), and guarantee an accumulated a priori exclusion probability higher than 0.9995, which is the ISFG requirement level. Normally, the paternity probability of the analysis is equal to or greater than 99.99% (practically proven paternity), and 100% for the exclusion of paternity.

Types of Paternity Testing

There are three possible studies of biological paternity, which are technically identical but differ in the purpose for which they are requested.
Informative or paternity compatibility study: This is a curiosity study, in which the samples are obtained by the applicant from the study at home and deliver them to the laboratory. These are identified partially with letters (A possible father, B child, and mother C). Accordingly, the analysis report has no legal validity.
Legal study of paternity: The report of this study has official and legal validity, so that there is a protocol of identification of the participants and a chain of custody of the samples, as required by the legal procedures of the judicial process in Spain.
Prenatal legal study of paternity: A study that determines the biological paternity of the fetus, from samples of amniotic fluid or chorionic villi. The study report also has official and legal validity, so it is necessary to follow the same protocols and procedures as in the legal study of paternity.
