Although the scientific language is more technical than how they say it on TV, the bottom line is the same: a DNA paternity test probability of 99.99% is strong enough for a judge to confidently allow (or deny) child support, immigration, or even conviction in a criminal case. So, just how powerful is a 99.99% probability of paternity?Ī 99.99% probability of paternity is so powerful, that it’s routinely accepted as evidence in favor of paternity by genetic scientists, courtroom judges, and even the U.S. Saying, “You ARE the father,” implies a 100% probability of paternity, which is technically incorrect. DNA paternity testing uses powerful statistics to create a probability of paternity, and the highest probability possible is 99.99% (not 100%).

Scientists use precise language, whereas TV personalities generalize for dramatic effect. Why do TV personalities say “you are the father” while scientists say you are “not excluded as the biological father”? When a possible father is NOT EXCLUDED, the Combined Paternity Index (CPI) is 100 (or larger) and the Probability of Paternity is typically 99.99% (or higher). If the Conclusion reads, “is NOT EXCLUDED as the biological father,” this means that he is most likely to BE the father because the data in the table strongly support a paternity relationship. When a possible father is EXCLUDED as the biological father, the Combined Paternity Index (CPI) is 0 and the Probability of Paternity is 0%. If the Conclusion reads, “is EXCLUDED as the biological father,” this means that he is NOT the father because the data in the table do not support a paternity relationship. The data table lists the different DNA markers (or “genetic systems”) examined by scientists to create the CPI and Probability of Paternity. The Conclusion states whether the possible father is EXCLUDED or is NOT EXCLUDED as the biological father (see explanations below). Data table of DNA markers (or genetic systems).We include names of participants on the report only for witnessed, chain-of-custody tests.Įach paternity test report shows the following information: If you did an at-home peace-of-mind test, your report will not show the names of participants: participants are only identified by number and by their role in the test (for example, alleged father or child). To help with understanding your results, we’ve also shown you how they might say it on TV, instead of in a courtroom.
The report language is familiar to scientists, lawyers, and judges. The precise language used in your paternity report is very important but, because it’s also very technical, it can sometimes be hard to understand.
