An email from a customer who used our DNA parent-child test.

On June 12, 2020, we received the following email from a customer in Hiroshima Prefecture.

Thank you for the report on the test results. I appreciate you handling this so promptly.
I was a little curious about the figure of 99.998% in the results.
I believe it is confirmed that the parent-child relationship is certain, but I wondered why it isn't 99.999...

****** Sir/Madam

Thank you for your continued support.
My name is **** from seeDNA Inc.

Thank you for contacting us.
We are all delighted if this test was of even the slightest help to you.

Regarding your inquiry, for a standard paternity test there is a convention of listing the probability of paternity down to the decimal place where the digit is no longer 9, and we do in fact record this in our report.

This arises solely from the differences in the STR data (the numbers in the table) inherited between the father and the child.

Please rest assured that once the value reaches 99.9% or higher, it is regarded under international standards as a blood relationship that cannot be overturned.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you very much.
