SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the accuracy of DNA test results provided by a lab, where the alleged father is reported to have a 99.999% probability of paternity for both children despite questionable results. Key concerns include the legitimacy of the testing process, potential tampering of samples, and the need for raw data from the lab, which has not been provided. Participants suggest that all parties should consider retesting at an independent laboratory to ensure the validity of the results.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic genetics and DNA testing principles
  • Familiarity with paternity testing protocols and interpretation
  • Knowledge of laboratory standards for DNA sample handling
  • Awareness of potential contamination and tampering issues in biological testing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research independent DNA testing laboratories for retesting
  • Learn about the protocols for collecting and handling DNA samples to avoid contamination
  • Investigate the implications of paternity test results and legal considerations
  • Explore the process of obtaining raw DNA data from testing labs
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for geneticists, legal professionals involved in paternity cases, and individuals seeking clarity on DNA testing accuracy and protocols.

My apologies to (Ryan_m_b) for my previous post not being detailed enough to support a true discussion. This is the oddest results I have ever seen..and need opinions..

Below is a DNA result that the Alleged Father has been passed off as the father of both children.??.

By reviewing the first locus. The results reflect the female child as receiving 17 from Alleged Father which SHOULD make his 15 the "Y" to be passed to the Male Child. I added so "?" on the really questionable ones. This almost looks like the mother and father are related which is not the case..

Individual came to me to determine if this is a valid result as the lab in question is not answering any of his inquiries. He paid for this test and when asked to get the raw data gets told that it's not required.

There are currently 9 loc's in question here as all parties DNA has been submitted and the Male "Y" Chromosome should be clear to see as the mother states he is the father of both children.

Results came back in an envelope that looks like it had been steamed opened but was also raining that day it came in the mail. Might be a possibility of tampering at the lab as the mother can pull some strings.

The last possibility of the swabs being contaminated/tampered is a variable in the mix of all of this..


I need to know from a Biology perspective how could this be accurately resulting in a 99.999% on both children? Should all Parties get tested again at an alternate non associated Lab?
