Use DNA testing in Texarkana TX to Determine Paternity

by | Mar 26, 2015 | DNA Testing Texarkana TX, Genetic DNA Testing Texarkana TX | 0 comments

DNA testing in Texarkana TX is used to determine a child’s paternity. It may also be used to identify victims of a crime or criminal suspects. DNA testing can be used to determine if parents have generic conditions that may cause birth defects or other conditions in their children. Sometimes, DNA tests are the only way to tell if someone has been wrongly accused of a crime, and DNA testing has proven this many times, resulting in wrongly incarcerated individuals gaining their freedom.

DNA paternity tests settle custody, child support and paternity cases. The medical testing service conducts DNA tests on mother, alleged father and child. Tests can be conducted on the alleged father and child and not on the mother, but the chances of relationship probability will be reduced. The mother should be tested whenever possible for accurate and conclusive results.

The results of DNA testing in Texarkana TX, regardless of the purpose, are confidential and accurate.  Here are some types of DNA testing, other than paternity testing, to determine biological relationships:

    1.  A siblingship test determines the sibling relationship between two people. It can identify a father if he is unavailable or missing, and find out if siblings share the same parents or just a mother or father. The alleged siblings in the DNA test must share a biological relative.
    1.  A family reconstruction test is used to determine siblingship if the father is missing or deceased. An adequate number of relatives must be available for DNA testing in Texarkana TX. Family reconstruction has a 99.9% success rate, and can be used to prove paternity for inheritance cases.
    1.  Grandparentage testing is used to determine if an individual is a child’s grandparent. It’s also used when the alleged biological father isn’t available for DNA testing.
    1.  Twin Zygosity testing is used to satisfy twins’ personal curiosity and give them an understanding of their background and origin. Its also used for medical purposes.

A person’s DNA carries their genetic code. It determines their personality, hair color, eye color and other traits. Every cell in the human body has a full set of DNA. 99.9% of DNA is the same as other peoples’.The 0.1% that makes us unique are called genetic markers. Identical twins are the only people who have 100% identical genetic markers.
