WHAT DOES PATERNITY TEST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Parental testing

Parental testing is the use of genetic fingerprinting to determine whether two individuals have a biological parent–child relationship. A paternity test establishes genetic proof whether a man is the biological father of an individual, and a maternity test establishes whether a woman is the biological mother of an individual. Though genetic testing is the most reliable standard, older methods also exist, including ABO blood group typing, analysis of various other proteins and enzymes, or using human leukocyte antigen antigens. The current techniques for paternal testing are using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Paternity testing can now also be performed while the woman is still pregnant from a blood draw."A Noninvasive Test to Determine Paternity in Pregnancy" New England Journal of Medicine May 3, 2012 DNA testing is currently the most advanced and accurate technology to determine parentage. In a DNA parentage test, the result is 0% when the alleged parent is not biologically related to the child and the probability of parentage is typically 99.99% when the alleged parent is biologically related to the child.
