A DNA paternity test can be done immediately following birth and any time afterward. Probability of paternity is determined by taking buccal (cheek) cells collected from the potential father and the baby and then comparing the DNA from the baby with that of the potential father.

These DNA tests are very accurate, but there are chances that their accuracy can still be compromised by a few factors. First, one common way is sample contamination. This is typically consumer error and it is easy to avoid, but it can still happen.

A swab of the oral mucosa is sufficient to obtain the sample. A paternity test requires at least two samples: one from the child and one from the possible father. Ideally, a sample from the mother should also be tested. The results make it possible to rule out paternity or classify it as highly probable.

In South Dakota, paternity can be established either “voluntarily” or “involuntarily” until the child turns 18 years old. When the mother and father agree that the father is in fact the biological father, paternity can be established voluntarily.

In Kentucky, there are two ways to establish paternity: by signing a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity (VAP) and by initiating a paternity action in court. With both methods, certain instances warrant genetic testing.

Calculations. The PI is a likelihood ratio that is generated by comparing two probabilities where PI = X / Y: Numerator (“X”) – The probability that we observe the phenotypes of the tested participants in the inheritance scenario given that the tested man is the true biological father.
