The DNA Test results are in….

At IDENTIGENE we offer various types of DNA Testing.  Most if not all of our tests are meant to help discover the truth behind lingering questions.  Because DNA is scientific in nature many of our reports have language and information on them that isn’t always easy to understand.

The most common question I remember when explaining results to customers was, “What does not excluded mean?”  This phrase can be one of a few phrases that someone may see in the conclusion portion of their DNA Paternity Report.

Well, not excluded means just that.  It means that the person who was tested cannot be excluded as the biological father of a child.  When this appears on a report it will also show a probability of paternity of 99% or higher.  Because of the nature of DNA testing we cannot just out right say that someone is the father of a child.

I hope this sheds a little light on this phrase.  Next time we will talk about other phrases that may seem a little confusing on your DNA Paternity report or other DNA Test results.  Any specific questions on results feel free to comment on the blog or email me at kstyer@identigene.com

  1. I sent a test kit Express Mail and it’s taking forever for the testing process to get started. My advice is save your money.

    Kimberly, I am a little unclear as to what you mean by “it’s taking forever for the testing to get started.” If you are willing I would like to look into your case a little closer. You can call me at 801-462-1465 or email me at kstyer@identigene.com.
