Peace of Mind (POM)
These tests are conducted for personal knowledge and are not intended for court use. They provide clarity, reassurance, and truth for families seeking answers.
Tests Offered:
Paternity DNA Testing (Peace of Mind)
This test determines whether a man is the biological father of a child by comparing specific DNA markers. Since a child inherits half of their DNA from each parent, the analysis confirms whether there is a biological match.
• Accuracy exceeds 99.9% when inclusion is confirmed
• Sample type: Buccal (cheek) swabs
• Suitable for personal knowledge and family clarity
Sibling DNA Testing
This test evaluates whether two individuals share one or both biological parents by comparing their genetic profiles. Results are expressed as a probability of relationship.
• Determines full or half sibling relationships
• Suitable when parents are unavailable
Grandparent DNA Testing
Used to establish a biological relationship between a child and alleged grandparents when a parent is unavailable. Testing both grandparents improves accuracy.
Avuncular DNA Testing (Aunt/Uncle DNA Test)
Determines whether a child is biologically related to an alleged aunt or uncle by analysing shared genetic markers.
• Useful when the parent is unavailable or deceased
Y-Chromosome (Y-DNA) Testing
This test traces paternal lineage by analysing the Y chromosome passed from father to son.
• Applicable to male individuals only
• Useful for confirming paternal ancestry
