Want to know more about DNA testing? David Hartshorne of DNA testing service Orchid Cellmark in Oxfordshire answers some common questions about the DNA testing process from choosing a lab to receiving the results.
Paternity testing is a serious matter and it is vital that we have consent from all those who are being tested before we proceed with the analysis.
This means that if there is a young person under the age of sixteen we will require consent from either their parents or the person who has legal responsibility for the child. It is actually now a criminal offence to take a sample for paternity testing without having consent.
