| Incomplete authorization form sent in with samples
(missing information) |
| Test results had single or double exclusion (must be at
least 3 to be released) |
| Gel failure (must rerun test) |
| Unusual sample (hair, gum, etc.) |
| Unknown race which causes the results to be hand
calculated |
| Related alleged fathers (can result in additional
testing) |
| Low Paternity Index on motherless tests- If all the DNA systems match
between the alleged father and child, usually the result indicates a
99.99%
probability of paternity. Sometimes, however, the genes shared between the
alleged father and child are so common that the probability of paternity
doesn't reach 99%. Additional testing may be necessary and/or the
mothers sample should be collected when possible. |
| There is always a risk, though slight, of a sample not
containing enough DNA for the test. This is due to collection error or the
clients' mouth's conditions (dry mouth, excessive tobacco usage, etc.).
We will send you another collection kit at no charge. |
