DNA Paternity Testing: Unavailable Alleged Father

More DNA testing options.

DNA paternity testing requires a DNA sample from the alleged father. In some cases, where an alleged father is deceased for example, a DNA profile can be obtained from a non-standard sample such as blood, hair root, skin tissue or personal items such as a toothbrush, comb, or garment. The question of paternity can also be answered by DNA testing with other family members related to the alleged father.
