Paternity testing, often referred to in Thai as "DNA testing," is a genetic examination used to establish the biological relationship
between a father and child. It relies on genetic testing technology, or DNA analysis, to identify similarities or differences between
the child and the alleged father. This examination is based on the fundamental principle that children inherit genetic material equally
from both their mother and father.
The test is conducted at a network laboratory located in the United States. This laboratory holds accreditations from several
reputable agencies, including CAP (College of American Pathologists), CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments), AABB
(Association for the Advancement of Blood & Biotherapies), ANAB ISO/IEC 17025, the American Ministry of Justice, and the National
Association of Testing Authorities และAustralia (NATA), etc.

Conditions Screened For
Paternity testing is available in two formats :
Prenatal Testing
• This test can be conducted starting from the 9th week
of pregnancy.
• High accuracy,more than 99.9%
• Turnaround time: 14-18 days
DNA sample
• Mother's blood
• Father's cheek tissue
Postpartum Testing
• High accuracy,more than 99.9%
• Turnaround time : 7-10 days
DNA sample
• Baby's cheek tissue
• Father's cheek tissue
• Mother's cheek tissue (Case is able to gather samples.)
For a fee, the laboratory can provide a certificate for lawful use only if both of the aforementioned exams are requested.
Furthermore, it is only essential to examine a small number of the company's locations outside of Citogenetics Center Limited
Reporting
When reporting the results of Paternity testing, the report will provide the probability of paternity
(Probability of Paternity), which can be one of two answers:
• Yes, father and child: This indicates a probability of paternity of ≥ 99.9%, confirming that the
tested individuals are genetically related, with genetic test results matching more than 99.9%
• No, not father and child: This result suggests a 0% probability of paternity, meaning the tested
individuals are not genetically related.
