How does paternity testing work?
Paternity testing is a highly accurate method of identifying whether a man is a child’s biological father. For a peace of mind paternity test, cheek (buccal) swabs are used to collect cheek cell DNA from the potential father(s) and the child. These samples can then be analyzed and compared in the laboratory to identify matching DNA markers (loci) in the DNA samples. Every person inherits half of their DNA from each of their biological parents, so such a comparison can help us to establish the probability of paternity. When testing the biological father, both the man and the child will share enough identical sections of DNA to confirm a biological relationship. If the tested man is not the biological father, this will not be the case.
Our DNA Paternity Test looks at 24 DNA Markers (Standard) as compare to industrial standards of 16 loci Markers-for 100% sure and accurate Results.
Note: Most Other Labs Performed 18-22 DNA Markers.

Whats the difference Between Legal and Personal Testing?
It's crucial to understand the difference. "Peace of Mind" tests are for personal knowledge and may not be admissible in court. Legal paternity tests follow strict chain-of-custody procedures and are Court admissible. Legal Tests can also be used for visa, passport applications.

Yes, prenatal paternity tests are available, including non-invasive options that use a blood sample from the mother. There are also older more invasive procedures like Amniocentesis and CVS.
Is There any Difference between accuracy of Personal and Legal Testing?
No, The DNA analysis itself can be equally accurate in both test types.
Legal tests provide documentation that makes the results legally valid.
Personal tests are for informational purposes only.
How long do results take?
Results are usually available in 7-14 days of sample collection or 1-3 days once the sample arrived in Partner Testing Laboratory.
Why Shaukat Khanum Hospital or Agha Khan or Chughtai Lab dont offer Paternity Test?
You're right! Shaukat Khanum, Chughtai Lab, and Aga Khan University Hospital do not offer DNA paternity testing as part of their standard services. Most hospitals and general diagnostic labs in Pakistan focus on medical and genetic disease-related testing rather than legal or personal DNA paternity tests.
For paternity testing, specialized labs like DNA Labs Pakistan and other accredited DNA testing centers are the best options. These labs follow international standards and offer both legal and private paternity testing.
