Do I need to include the mother’s sample for a paternity test?

30 May 2014

Although the mother’s DNA will help to strengthen the results, the type of test carried out by easyDNA is sufficiently accurate not to require the mother’s sample to be included. Without the mother’s sample, the probability inclusion of paternity is at least 99.9% (in cases where the tested alleged father is the biological father). With the mother’s sample, this percentage goes up to 99.99% or higher).
