WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU COME FOR YOUR DNA TEST:
We offer face to face consultations and support while offering the
most accurate DNA test available.
When undertaking a DNA test at the Rosemount Centre DNA Clinic you will be
assigned an individual case manager. They will guide you through your DNA
test, take your DNA samples (mouth swabs) and offer you impartial support.
You will be given options as to how you should receive your DNA test
result and a range of counselling options will be available to you.
Therefore you will be able to choose the level of support you anticipate
as an individual or family.
THE DNA TEST EXPLAINED:
The DNA test compares DNA from all individuals involved to establish
whether a biological relationship exists. A DNA test is the most accurate
way to establish whether individuals are related.
At the Sequence laboratories 16 genetic locations (i.e. 16 parts of the
DNA) are analysed. For a person to be included as a biological parent,
they must match exactly at all of these 16 genetic locations.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is stored in all nucleated cells of the
body. This is where genetic information is contained. Every individual has
their own unique genetic sequence, making DNA testing the ultimate choice
for Human Identification testing. Cells can be isolated from a
variety of samples such as saliva, blood, hair etc.
Each cell contains 46 chromosomes. Upon conception, a child inherits
one half of their DNA from the biological mother & one half from the
biological father. Therefore, parentage can be determined by 'matching up'
genetic material to the child.
When a child’s DNA does not match that of the alleged parent, they are
excluded with an accuracy of 100%, as they could not possibly be related.
When the child’s DNA does match the alleged parent, we can prove a
probability of 99.999% that they are the true biological parent. 100%
inclusion would only be possible if every male/ female in the world was
tested.
Once reaching the Sequence laboratories, cells are collected from
mouth (buccal) swabs or other forensic samples. The DNA is then extracted
for analysis. The DNA is amplified & treated with fluorescent probes.
These probes are detected by high-tech lasers using state of the art
equipment. This produces a pattern that is unique to each individual. A
child’s pattern will 'match up' to those patterns generated by their true
biological parents. Half will match the mother's sample and half will
match the father.
If it is revealed that the patterns of an alleged parent DO NOT match
that of the child’s, there is zero probability that they are the
biological parent.
