Hospital Baby Exchange Maternity DNA Test

About this service

This test is described as comparing DNA from an alleged mother and a child to assess a biological relationship. The listing does not establish the laboratory's validated method, whether additional participants are needed, sample procedures or reporting. A genetic result is not by itself proof of a hospital mix-up, legal parentage or a medical condition.
