It could be possible; for example, disease can cause it.

It depends where you go. If you talk to someone in charge or someone who has gotten one, you should get an approximate amount.

This is dependent on individual state laws.

There are many locations that sell home paternity tests. Most corner drugstores offer this product for a reasonable price. However, if you desire anonymity, you might opt to purchase the test online from these retailers instead of in store.

Whether or not you can sue over a forced paternity test is usually a question of local law. The answer in this location is that you can not usually sue over a court ordered paternity test. Since court orders in this area are public record, it is stupid to let it get that far.

Yes, result's won't be different in any case. Its easy to collect mouth swabs and transport also any part of the world.

The water deprivation test is a test which is performed to check the regulation of fluid balance and concentration power of your kidneys. Regulation of the fluid balance is a complex process which involves the Pituitary hormone called Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), the response of kidneys to ADH, amount of fluid intake, various salt contents of your body, etc. The water deprivation test can only be performed on a person who has not taken any fluids. Because of this, the test can only be performed under medical supervision. This test is usually performed in children to see if he/she has Diabetes Insipidus. Diabetes Insipidus is caused either when the Pituitary gland does not release the ADH hormone or when your kidneys do not react to it to control urine production.

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.

No, you do not have to breastfeed but it is healthier for the baby. Breastfeeding gives the babies antibodies, and nutrition. It is also a bonding experience for the mother and child. Also, it is cost sufficient, you don't need to spend money on formula!

Paterinity tests that are admissible in court are around $435.00. There are more expensive tests and the cost may vary depending on where the test is done.

Mediate inference refers to resolving or settling something. It is often used in resolving conflicts with a therapist or counselor.

No, but it should be done to confirm it. Once a man acknowledges paternity, he's obligated financially, even if later he learns that he's not the father.

just a swabbing the inside of your mouth will enable a lab to determine via DNA testing if you are the father.

Anybody can request anything. Whether the request will be granted is another matter. A paternity test would not be obligatory in this case, but it is also possible that the man who may or may not be the biological father of the grandchild in question might be willing to cooperate.

A DNA Test of an unborn child is a very risky procedure. The mother would have to consent and she would be advised of all the risks. It's much simpler and less risk once the child is born. The mother of the child can speak to her OB/Gyn for more information.

A person could be a chimeras, carrying two or more genetic codes.

Yes, and it should be made mandatory in all births.

"Can you have a paternity test while you are pregnant?"

Only two samples are needed, from the father and child. As it involves a prison, it may require a court order, but contact administration about permission to bring in a testing kit for doing a sampling in the medical ward.

Yes. You can determine paternity from DNA samples of siblings. This is done by using the gel electrophoresis method. Based upon the bands which are seen, one can denote the paternity as well as maternity. But for this the DNA sample of the father/s is also tested.

This method is frequently used in Forensic Science.

There are ways to assess paternity wihtout using DNA. These are the methods that werre used before the DNA methods were developed and are not a accurate as DNA assessment is.

Blood types and rH factors can at the least eliminate some men as fathers of some children as children with some types cannot be the child of males with certain other blood types.

There is also the process of testimony of the mother.
