When a DNA test is performed, the DNA laboratory examines many different genes and compares the genes of the child with the genes of the alleged father. The more genes that are examined, the more accurate the test becomes. Using the latest technology, the current standard is to examine at least 16 different genes for your test.

At Genetrack, we guarantee that all 16 genes are tested, and in the final report, we will list each gene and give you the exact DNA information for each individual tested. However, not all laboratories examine all 16 genes. Some smaller labs do not have the technology to examine so many locations, and will only examine 5 or 6 genes. Some labs examine less than 16 genes in order to save money and increase profit. Because most patients do not know this, most patients simply rely on the laboratory, and do not ask how many genes are tested. As a result, many Asian laboratories cut corners and examine only 12 genes or even as few as 6 genes. Remember, the more genes that are examined, the more accurate and high quality the test becomes. The danger of cutting corners and examining less genes is that you may not get the correct result. Always ensure that the laboratory examines all 16 genes to ensure that you will receive conclusive results. Always make sure that the laboratory guarantees that it will write down on your final report document the name and data for every gene tested to ensure that you receive the results for every single gene.

Genetrack is a world renowned laboratory which performs testing for the Canadian government and processes large volumes of tests and maintains the highest testing standards. As a result, Genetrack is equipped with the most advanced testing equipment and modern technology. Genetrack guarantees that we examine all 16 genetic locations.

To ensure the highest quality tests, North America has a number of regulatory bodies which govern how the testing is performed and regulate the competency of the DNA testing laboratory. Genetrack is registered to participate in the DNA laboratory proficiency program of the Canadian Standards Counsel which also oversees the testing of the RCMP in Canada. Genetrack is ISO 17025 accredited. Genetrack also participates in the paternity testing proficiency program of the College of American Pathologists (CAP), and undergoes rigorous laboratory proficiency testing three times every year. Genetrack has always scored perfectly in the proficiency tests and is ranked as one of the best laboratories in North America.

Many smaller laboratories in Asia do not have the proper technology to perform high quality DNA tests. Also, DNA testing in Asia currently is not regulated, so many labs in Asia do not test all 16 genes and do not run your test two times. A paternity test is a very important procedure and requires a laboratory that is experienced and well equipped, and that participates in recognized regulatory programs. As a result, many individuals in Asia who are serious about determining paternity seek out North American laboratories or ask friends or relatives in North America to help them contact the laboratories directly to arrange for testing. Paternity testing affects the rest of your life and you cannot afford a mistake. Unfortunately, mistakes can happen if a laboratory is too new and does not have enough experience, if the laboratory does not perform enough tests and thus is not equipped with the latest and most advanced equipment, or does not have to participate in North American regulating societies such as the CAP or SCC.
