What Is a Paternity DNA Test?
A paternity DNA test is a highly accurate genetic analysis that determines the biological father of a child. It compares specific DNA markers (STRs) from the child and the alleged father to establish a biological relationship with 99.99% accuracy. DNA Labs India offers both legal and peace-of-mind paternity tests in Amritsar, Punjab, using advanced 24-marker or 46-marker STR profiling for definitive results.
