Confidential Paternity DNA test in India

A paternity DNA test is a test used to determine the biological relationship between a father and a child. Paternity DNA tests are recommended in cases where the father doubts the paternity of a child. Usually, adoption, immigration, and court custody cases ask for the Paternity DNA test reports to resolve the legal matters. Therefore, it becomes mandatory to choose a DNA testing lab whose test results are legally defensible. Although numerous private DNA testing labs guarantee authentic DNA test reports to the customers, for legal cases, test reports should be government-approved. Despite having various private DNA test labs, DNA Forensics Laboratory Private Ltd is the only lab that is government-approved.

The history of DNA testing in India is around 30 years old. Before the commercial use of DNA tests started, it was merely limited to research institutes, pharmaceutical R facilities, and forensic labs, etc. The government of India amended the previously enacted ‘Transplantation of Human Organs Act’ in 2014. Illegal organ markets and rackets were also booming due to the lack of stringent laws. In India, generally, two types of Organ transplants are prevalent - kidney transplant and liver transplant. If the genetic relationship is confirmed the organ transplant is approved, else disapproved.
