DNA Testing FAQs
Golden Medical Testing offers DNA testing to confirm or rule out close family relationships, including paternity, maternity, grandparent-grandchild, avuncular (aunt/uncle-niece/nephew), sibling, and twins (identical vs. fraternal).
DNA testing for relationship verification involves three steps. First, specimens are collected either at home using a test kit or at a testing clinic. Second, a certified laboratory extracts the DNA from the provided specimens. Third, a doctor performs a statistical analysis by comparing the allele sizes of the 21 chromosomes to determine the likelihood of the biological relationship.
Women who are at least 9 weeks pregnant can receive a prenatal paternity test. Prenatal paternity tests can be done between a possible father and his potential unborn child with zero risks to the fetus.
This is one of the earlier ways of identifying the relationship between a potential father and child. Prenatal paternity testing is non-invasive and 100% safe for both the mother and the unborn child. This is done by a simple blood test, which is drawn from the mother's arm with no needles going near the fetus.
