HI Paul,

Anything above 99% is considered to be a not excluded, meaning we do consider you to be the biological father of the child. If you would like to know more about your results please feel free to contact our client support team Mon-Fri 9am-8pm EST and they are more than happy to go over what each section means.

Hello Jess,

Most laboratories will not report anything as conclusive if its under 99%. I would recommend contacting the laboratory that completed the test and having them explain the percentage of probability of paternity.

Not necessarily. If there is a possibility that the alleged father being tested could be a relative of some kind you do want to notify the laboratory of that possibility before testing. In order to get a conclusive answer different calculations need to be done.

If a test is inconclusive, could the reason be because the person tested is related to the father?

Evelyn,

Once you collect the samples we advise to send them in as fast as possible; however, if you do need time we advise within 6 months of collection.

It’s not required that you include the mother in the test, how ever it does help. Once Identigene receives your samples, if the lab needs the mother’s samples to give a definitive result, we will call you and request her samples. At that point, you will have the choice of sending her samples, or continuing the test with out them, knowing that you MAY get an inconclusive result.

One reason we request the mother’s samples up front is that it will prevent the delay in reporting, while we contact you, wait for the samples, and then continue the test.

If my results are inconclusive, will identigene request I send a sample from the mother? Or will I have to pay for a whole new test? Getting a sample from the mother is going to be an issue so I’d like to avoid it if it’s not necessary.
