Paternal Relative Comparison

Paternal Relative Comparison (Y-STR) – (Male Chromosome DNA Testing)

Paternal relative DNA tests are used when a client needs to prove or deny a biological relationship between two males. Because the test analyzes genes on the Y— male— chromosome, it is useful for testing males. If the father is not available or willing to be tested, this DNA test can be employed to provide evidence of a child’s paternity. Two males who have the same father will have similar DNA profiles on the Y chromosome. Conversely, two males who are not related will have different DNA profiles.

A grandfather and a male child, for instance, would share the same Y chromosome, as would an uncle and a nephew. Although the Y-STR DNA test can identify relatives and ancestors through the male (paternal) line— for genealogy charts, for instance— it is not applicable for determining blood relatives for immigration authorities.

This is the only test that inspects the DNA for markers specific to the male chromosome. Another test (Maternal Relative Comparison or MtDNA) examines the genetic profile for biological relationships by using the female side of the ancestry.

Y- Chromosome DNA

The Y-STR DNA test is a blood line test and it is completed by obtaining a simple cheek (buccal) swab. The test can be administered by simply calling one of offices to arrange for your appointment and we will collect the samples and you may chose to have the test for legal purposes or for personal use.

For legal purposes, the Y-STR test can be analyzed by our contract partner, which is accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). These test results are accepted in a court of law, and are used in cases involving inheritance or estate settlements; criminal cases; child custody or support; and other situations.

With the court-admissible DNA test, the sample is collected by an unrelated third party. The entire process— sampling, storage, shipping, delivery— is monitored and documented in the chain-of-custody proceeding ordered by the court.

DNA Passed Down the Line Via Male Genes

While there are a few different ways to prove paternal relationships, the Y-STR DNA test is one of the most direct. Males who are related will have the same information on the Y chromosome. If there is no biological relationship, the Y chromosomes will show very different profiles.

The DNA test is the gold standard for proof of ancestry. Genetic analysis can have as little as near-zero probability of error. There is no greater proof in the legal system. Compared with DNA testing, the old method of fingerprinting suspects for identification is crude and outdated.

Terms & Conditions

By placing your order with All About Truth DNA Services, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions:

Although the information contained in this website is accurate and up to date, no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made to its accuracy or completeness.

Since in-home test DNA samples are being obtained without a strict chain of custody, the origin of such samples cannot be verified by either All About Truth DNA Services, it's employees, or the testing laboratory and therefore test results cannot be used in a court of law or for immigration purposes. This test is for personal use only.

In compliance with the New York State Department of Health regulations, we do not make in-home testing available to residents of New York. In this regard, All About Truth DNA Services disclaims any legal responsibility from its use of our online services to circumvent this regulation.

Test results are released only when all charges and payments made have cleared and have been paid in full.

Fees are non-refundable once we have shipped the DNA Home-self kit you purchased online.

Genetic mutations sometimes occur in ordinary, healthy people. These mutations surface in approximately 1-2% of paternity cases. When they do, the final test results depend on careful interpretation of the data by the laboratory scientists. If an inconsistency is detected, any guarantees on conclusiveness and turnaround time are void. Such inconsistencies often require extended testing which may affect probabilities of paternity and length of test duration.

Due to the complexity of genetic inheritance and despite extended testing procedures, some special tests (including Siblingship tests and genetic reconstruction) may reveal insufficient data to yield a definite exclusion or inclusion.

All About Truth DNA Services limits its liability to the cost of the test and disclaims liability for other losses, direct or indirect, arising from
the test results.

We are not responsible for incorrect or misspelled names on the report as it is provided by you and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to understand the handwriting of the person who wrote it. Once the report has been generated, we will not be able to alter it in any manner and therefore will not be able to correct any spelling of any names.
