DNA Testing
Paternity DNA Test
The Paternity DNA Test determines the biological relationship between a child and a potential father by comparing genetic markers. This test can be important for legal matters, inheritance, and personal peace of mind.
About this service
The Paternity DNA Test is a scientific procedure used to establish a biological relationship between a child and a man claiming to be the father. The test compares specific genetic markers found in DNA samples from the child and the alleged father. This test may be considered by individuals needing to confirm paternity for legal reasons, such as custody or inheritance issues, or by those seeking personal confirmation of a biological connection. It can also be relevant in family situations involving kinship or lineage questions. The test results indicate whether the tested man is the biological father of the child. A positive result confirms the relationship, while a negative result excludes it. Results are typically available within 10 days. Discussing the results with a qualified professional is recommended for proper understanding. DNA Labs Kenya offers this test with branches in major cities and home sample collection options. Mutual consent is required for relationship testing.
