dna testing - what happens

[prettyfly1]

hey guys, csa are finally pulling there fingers out and making it take a test. what actually happens, how long will the results take and what is the error rate. no fear of taking it as there is no way my son is anyone elses and he is his dads double but have horrible visions of mistakes being made.

hi prettyfly,from experience the dna test usually takes in total about a year to come through but not sure if it's different for everyone else..also it's over 99% accurate so i wouldnt worry!

cool not sure if i will be particularly happy with a year but the 99 percent thing is good news.

I've had a dna test done privately. It was expensive: about £400. Very straightforward, a swab is taken of your son's inside cheek, the same thing will be done with your son's father. The samples are sent off & I had the results back within 10 days.

i had a dna test done ordered through the courts and had results back within 2 weeks and that was over xmastime so lots of hols etc, the result was something like 99.9999% accurate

thanks guys, like i said i have nothing to worry about the results for but i still find this very intimidating. really never thought i would have to do something like this and when i know its just a stalling tactic on his part ( all be it an expensive one ). bloody rat!!!!!!!!!
