DNA paternity test determines whether a man in question is the biological father of a certain child. In a DNA paternity test, the result is 0% when the alleged man is not biologically related to the child, and the probability of parentage is typically 99.99% when the alleged father is biologically related.

Prenatal DNA paternity Test
DNA prenatal paternity test determines whether an alleged man is the biological father of an unborn child. During pregnancy, the mothers’ bloodstream contains a mix of DNA that comes from her cells and cells from the placenta that matches the fetus DNA. The fetal DNA which is found in the expectant mother’s plasma is compared to that of the alleged father to check for proof that the man is or is not responsible for the pregnancy. The test is performed after 7 weeks of pregnancy. There are two types of prenatal paternity test namely:
- The Non-invasive prenatal paternity test (NIPPT)
- The invasive prenatal paternity test
Maternity DNA Test
A maternity test is similar to a paternity test. The difference between the two is that an alleged mother has to take the test and not an alleged father. During the process, a child’s DNA is compared with that of the alleged mother to determine how likely it is that the child has inherited the DNA from the alleged mother.
