there are three common ways:

- bad test

- bad dna

- bad interpretation

The first can easily be fixed with a second test.

The second is not so easy and requires a finding of what is the dna defect.

The third is the most common in that neither the DNA testing companies nor the court systems seem to understand DNA test results. Common thought today is that a 99.99 probability score means that "you are the father." All you need to do is watch TV or read the DNA testing company ads to hear that line of garbage.

Unfortunately, that is NOT what it means. What 99.99 POP means is that the tested male AND 1 in EVERY 1000 other men have that EXACT SAME DNA pattern. Hardly proof of paternity. What it proves is that the tested male is from the same gene pool as the father..not the father. Almost every DNA Paternity test today has the ability to "score" the tested potential father to 99.9999999. That fact is for some unknown reason always witheld from the man. BTW - 99.999999 means 1 in every 100,000,000 men have the same DNA pattern - a better indicator of paternity and easily reached on all of today's OTC DNA tests.

If you want the truth about DNA paternity testing, ask a scientist, not a lawyer, not a judge, not a DNA testing lab, and certainly NOT Maury.
