In
genetic reconstruction, a series of DNA tests are
conducted to determine whether or not a child is
related to the alleged father’s close relatives. It
is an indirect way to determine family relationships
when an alleged father is not available for a
paternity test. Results of genetic reconstruction
may be used as proof in Social Security benefit and
other inheritance claims.
In the test, the
child’s DNA profile is compared with the DNA
profiles of at least two of the alleged father’s
close relatives. A close relative may be a full
sibling or a biological parent. Each individual’s
DNA profile is unique, but close relatives will
share a significant portion of their DNA profiles
because of the hereditary nature of DNA. Due to the
complex analysis required, the mother’s
participation is required in a genetic
reconstruction case.
For a free
consultation or to order a test, please email us or
call us. One of our caring,
knowledgeable case managers will review the
information you provide and guide you through the
testing process.
