DNA Paternity Testing South San Gabriel
A DNA test for paternity purposes determines the biological father of a child. Every human inherits specific DNA from both biological parents, half from the mother and half from the father. A DNA test examines a child's DNA pattern with that of a alleged father to determine if the child and the alleged father have the same DNA. Results of a properly administered DNA test utilizing a AABB accredited laboratory are 99.9% accurate. While DNA paternity testing maybe stressful for some parties involved, Accredited Drug Testing is committed to making the entire DNA paternity testing experience, professional, convenient, confidential and Stress Free.
Establishing a biological relationship is important and has many benefits including
- Medical history for the child
- Establishing legal, custodial and inheritance claims
- Enhances the family unit and bond between father and other family members
When administering a DNA test to a child/minor, the legal guardian must be present and provide authorization for the DNA test to be conducted. The legal guardian can be the mother, father or other natural or court ordered person who has legal decision making authority over the minor child.
DNA Immigration Testing
DNA testing can be used for reasons relating to immigration and the biological relationship between a petitioner and affiliated individual. DNA immigration testing can be used for paternity tests, maternity tests, sibling relationship and other purposes required by the U.S Department of State. Accredited Drug Testing will coordinate the entire process, including scheduling the DNA test for parties located in the United States and forward the DNA collection kit to the U.S Embassy located in a foreign country where the other party is located. Once the DNA collection has occurred at one of our testing centers in the U.S and at the U.S Embassy where the other parties are located, Accredited Drug Testing will ensure that all specimens are sent to the lab for DNA testing and provide the results once the AABB laboratory has analyzed the DNA test.
What is a DNA test?
A DNA test is a procedure to determine if exact biological characteristics exist in one person's DNA and those exact same DNA characteristics in another person's DNA makeup. As humans each of us have different DNA makeup, however parents and children have the same DNA, siblings from the same parents have the same DNA and grandparents have the same DNA as grandchildren. A DNA test is a non-intrusive procedure usually utilizing a oral swab from all parties, which then follows a specific chain of custody process in which the oral swab specimens are sent to a certified and accredited AABB laboratory. The Laboratory than analyzes the DNA specimen and provides the results. DNA test results are 99.9% accurate.

AI Overview
Overview of DNA Testing
DNA testing is a sophisticated scientific method used to analyze genetic material from an individual to discover genetic information that can influence health, ancestry, and personal characteristics. It has revolutionized fields such as medicine, forensics, and genealogy by providing deep insights into genetic backgrounds and health predispositions.
Common Types of DNA Testing
- Medical Genetic Testing: Identifies changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins to confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person's chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder.
- Ancestral DNA Testing: Analyzes DNA to provide insights into one’s ethnic background and ancestral origins, often revealing geographical and migratory histories of ancestors.
- Forensic DNA Testing: Focuses on identifying individuals based on their unique genetic makeup for criminal investigations or legal matters such as paternity tests.
Benefits of DNA Testing
DNA testing offers a range of benefits:
- Enhanced Medical Understanding: Helps in understanding genetic diseases and can lead to more effective treatment and prevention strategies.
- Personal Ancestry Insights: Provides a deeper understanding of one's roots and personal history related to ethnic groups and migration patterns.
- Assistance in Forensic Investigations: Essential in solving crimes, identifying perpetrators or victims, and resolving civil disputes.
Challenges and Considerations in DNA Testing
While DNA testing provides valuable insights, it comes with challenges:
- Ethical Issues: Genetic testing raises ethical questions, particularly concerning privacy, consent, and the right to not know genetic information.
- Accuracy and Interpretation: Results can sometimes be inconclusive or misinterpreted, requiring careful consideration and potentially further testing.
- Psychological Impact: Discovering genetic information can be distressing and have significant emotional impacts on individuals and families.
Choosing the Right DNA Test
When considering a DNA test, it is important to:
- Select the Appropriate Test: Choose a test that suits your specific needs, whether for health, ancestry, or legal purposes.
- Consider Privacy Policies: Understand how your genetic information will be used, stored, and shared.
- Seek Professional Guidance: Consult healthcare professionals or genetic counselors to help interpret results accurately and responsibly.
In conclusion, DNA testing offers profound insights but requires careful consideration of ethical issues, potential emotional impacts, and the challenges of dealing with complex genetic information. With the right approach and professional support, it can provide invaluable benefits.

Local Area Info: San Gabriel, California
San Gabriel is a city in Los Angeles County, California. It is named after the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel (which in turn was named for Archangel Gabriel), founded by Junípero Serra. The city grew outward from the mission and in 1852 became the original township of Los Angeles County. San Gabriel was incorporated in 1913. The city's motto is "A city with a Mission" and it is often called the "Birthplace" of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. At the 2010 census, the population was 39,718.
Prior to the arrival of the Spanish to Alta California, the area that is now San Gabriel was inhabited by the Tongva Native Americans, whom the Spanish called the Gabrieleño. The Tongva name for the San Gabriel region has been reconstructed as Shevaa.
Today a center for culture and art, the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel (named for Archangel Gabriel), founded by Father Junipero Serra, is the fourth of twenty-one California Missions, and is known as the "Pride of the California Missions."
