Detailed information
There may be circumstances in your life that lead you to verify your biological
relationship with another person. However, it is advisable to approach such testing
very responsibly and after careful consideration of all possible consequences that the
outcome of such an analysis may have for the family.
Genetic information is stored in the cells of our body in the form of DNA and is a
combination of the DNA of both our biological parents. The PapaGen® test focuses on
identifying and analyzing DNA sites that decide on our uniqueness, unrepeatability,
and distinguish us from others.
The PapaGen® Genetic Test is here to untie the plot and help physicians diagnose
them. Genetic analysis plays a significant role not only in the determination of paternity,
but also from the medical point of view - in the case of the risk of an inherited disease
or the possibility of organ donation.

How does paternity test work? Genetic information is stored in the cells of our body
in the form of DNA and is a combination of the DNA of both our biological parents.
The PapaGen® test focuses on identifying and analyzing DNA sites that decide on our
uniqueness, unrepeatability, and distinguish us from others.
Who is the test suitable for?
A biological kinship test is appropriate in cases where paternity is to be verified or refuted.
How does the test work?
Genetic examination is performed from your DNA, which can be obtained by swabbing from the oral cavity (buccal wiping of the inside of your mouth cheek - DNA isolation from oral mucosal cells). You can take the sample yourself in the comfort of your home and send it to our lab, or have your collection taken by your GP.
How is the test done?
You can order the test from attending your Doctor/GP, private clinic or online at ghcgenetics. co.uk. Once you have signed the informed consent form, either a swab of your mouth will be taken or a blood sample will be collected. Once the genetic analysis is finished, you or your Doctor/GP will receive a report with the results and based on these he/she will recommend suitable preventive measures.
