Overview
The primary purpose of the Single Profiling DNA Test is to generate a unique DNA profile for an individual. This profile can be used for identity verification, paternity testing, and forensic investigations. Additionally, it can help identify genetic variations that may be associated with certain medical conditions, aiding in diagnosis and personalized treatment planning. The test is also valuable for immigration cases, legal disputes, and ancestry research.

Understanding Your Results
If all 24 markers match between two samples, it indicates a high probability of a biological relationship (e.g., paternity) or same individual identity.
Excludes a biological relationship or indicates different individuals.
May be due to a rare mutation; additional testing may be required.
Consult a genetic counselor or physician if you have concerns about your genetic health, are planning a family, or need assistance interpreting your DNA profile results.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comparison | Single Profiling DNA Test | Paternity test compares the child's DNA with the alleged father's DNA to confirm biological relationship. Single profiling test creates a DNA fingerprint for identity, which can also be used for paternity but is not specifically designed for it. | Ancestry test analyzes specific markers to determine ethnic and geographic origins. Single profiling test focuses on STR markers for identity and relationship, not ancestry. | WGS sequences the entire genome to identify all genetic variations. Single profiling test only analyzes 24 STR markers, making it less comprehensive but more cost-effective for identity purposes. |
