Thank you very much for conducting the test this time.
I have looked over the results.

You state that the probability of paternity is guaranteed to be 99.99% or higher, but the result for Child 1 was 99.999997%
and the result for Child 2 was 99.999991%.
Does this mean the result meets the 99.99% or higher standard?

Does the small remaining probability mean there is a chance he is not the father?

Also, there is a difference in the values between Child 1 (99.999997%) and Child 2 (99.999991%);
what is the reason for this difference in values?
Does it mean that the probability of paternity is lower for Child 2?

I apologize for asking so many questions.
Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much for using our testing service.

We are truly glad if this test has been of help to you in any way.

We wish you continued health and happiness.

Regarding your inquiry,
① In the case of siblings who are not identical twins,
 their DNA information is not exactly the same,
 so the probability of paternity values will differ.

② The probability of paternity for each child
 exceeds 99.99%,
 so a father-child relationship is confirmed in both cases.

③ When a father-child relationship is not confirmed,
 the probability of paternity is 0%.

Thank you very much.
