User questions & answers

Question:	Hello i bought this kit about 3 months ago and i found it a few days ago after i lost it, do they expire ? i tried logging in says” account inactive
Answer:	Hi! No, the kit doesn't expire. Have you submitted the samples yet? Until your results are ready, you'll get the "account inactive" message when trying to log in. To check on the status of your test, call us directly at 1-800-329-3758 (M-F, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm Eastern).
Question:	Can you swab mother and father for results
Answer:	For a paternity test, there needs to be at least one child and one possible father. The mother can also participate to help strengthen results, but her DNA is not usually required.
Question:	Do you just need the child and fathers dna? Not the mothers
Answer:	Yes. Although the mother's DNA can help strengthen results under certain circumstances, it is usually not required. Should it turn out to be needed, the lab will suspend testing and ask for the mother's samples. We'll then include her in the test at no extra charge.
Question:	My tracking hasn’t said my kit has reached the testing facility after 2 weeks. Should I call the facility
Answer:	My kit reached the facility in 3 days but didn't get to a tech for 2 weeks. I would call the facility to see if it got lost.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is DNA paternity testing?

• DNA testing is the most accurate method available for determining paternity. Its power lies in the ability to trace the pattern of inheritance for separate regions of the genetic material (chromosomes). From this information a probability of paternity can be calculated. This number reaches 99.99999% in most cases. The percentage of random men of the same race that can be excluded as the biological father is also computed for every case.

Does the mother have to be tested as well?

• No, although results cannot be as conclusive. Ideally, the mother, child, and alleged father should be tested. A child receives half of their DNA from their mother, and the other half from their father. Because the DNA half that the child receives from the mother will match the mother's DNA exactly, the remaining unmatched DNA matches the biological father.

Can I test more than one child or alleged parent?

• Yes, for an additional charge.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why does this brand lump british & irish together? (i noticed ancestry dna lists them separately). the genes are significantly different. thanks
Answer:	It will if you have a significant difference, if that is the case, it will drill down to say Irish. For instance, my husband (who is from Ireland) was 99% British and Irish, and then drilled down to 99% Irish. I was 88% from Spain and Portugal (I'm from Portugal) and then drilled down to 88% Portugal. I never mentioned to them I was from Portugal so the fact that they determined that I was Portuguese and not Spanish or a mixture was a surprise. Now, if you only have a small percentage they may not be able to distinguish between the two groups. Hope this helped!
Question:	Does this test include access to raw data
Answer:	There is access to your raw data, however if you recently took the test and have results under the V5 chip, you will not be able to upload to many third party sites at this time as this raw data is not yet supportrd
Question:	In regards to finding out my Native American roots, will this provide ancestral records to tribal affiliation
Answer:	Not only will it not provide tribal affiliation, there is a notable rate of false negatives for Native American ancestry in DNA testing right now (both 23andme and other companies). Meaning these results might say you have zero Native ancestry even when you do have some. People who have their family tree well documented and live on reservations have had this happen, due to the comparison samples the companies use to test against.
Question:	do i pay for shipping to return test
Answer:	you don't need to pay for return shipping but you'll probably need to send it more than once because they lose kits all the time.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it identify black mouth cur even though not recognized by AKC
Answer:	They have a long list. You can try the website to see if they tell you the breeds they can detect.
Question:	During the covid-19 pandemic how long will it take to get my results back
Answer:	Wisdom Panel is experiencing no delays in sample processing due to Covid-19. Once the sample is checked in at the lab you can expect results in roughly 2-3 weeks.
Question:	How many test strips come in the package
Answer:	There are two and they are not really test strips. They are like a little brush type swab and both have to be used on the same dog. Using both strips helps to get enough cells to get a DNA. Not crazy over Wisdom Panel. This is the first time we tried Wisdom Panel. We usually use Embark.
Question:	What are the differences for all wisdom productes
Answer:	3.0 can detect purebred ancestors present in the first 3 generations and will give your dog’s MDR1 status (Multi-Drug Sensitivity); the Wisdom Panel Health test will do both of those things as well as providing results for 150+ disease causing mutations and a genetic trait analysis.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do the results give countries or just continents? I would like one that gives specific countries
Answer:	Just a general response to all the older responses to questions. All of the DNA companies are constantly changing their DNA results. The more people that have the test, that more data goes into improving the accuracy and/or improves the ability to be more specific. Therefore, just wanted to say, as time goes on, the older responses may no longer be valid.
Question:	Do you get both maternal and paternal lines with this test
Answer:	Not distinct, separate lines, no. But you do get those results, just mixed up. AncestryDNA tests only autosomal chromosomes; that is, non-sex chromosomes. These are the 22 chromosomes everyone has regardless of gender. That means your results will show both your parents' ancestry, even if you're female, but it'll be combined - you won't be able to tell which parent provided which country or DNA result. For maternal- and paternal-specific ancestry (mtDNA and YDNA, respectively), 23andme provides this testing. AncestryDNA stopped doing it in 2014 (see https://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2014/06/12/comments-on-y-dna-and-mtdna-tests/). I recommend doing both AncestryDNA and 23andme for a more comprehensive picture of your background. And if you're female, ask a male relative (father, brother, paternal uncle) to do 23andme so you can extrapolate your paternal YDNA and haplogroup, since females do not carry the Y sex chromosome. Again, this is not available via AncestryDNA.If you are only interested in overall, general, "big-picture" results, and aren't concerned with specifics like which part of the world your maternal/paternal line came from per se, or your haplogroups, then AncestryDNA is the way to go.
Question:	Are these results on a par with 23andme? Are they identical or is there more info or less
Answer:	Depends on what you’re using it for. I took Ancestry and my sister to 23andme. We were looking to confirm our relatives not our ethnicity. We had way more matches and have been able to find common ancestors with other DNA matches. 23 and me is harder to sort through the matches and I’m not sure If you can even see other people’s family trees as i haven’t figured it out in almost a year
Question:	How many past generations does this test go back? Will it test going back a few hundred years
Answer:	That depends on your ancestry and the number of people of similar ancestry who have tested. Biggest group is European heritage. I have 6th and 7th generation matches going back to colonial New England because there was a good degree of pedigree collapse (genetic reinforcement due to small populations intermarrying) The majority of matches will be in the 4th cousin range. However, matches are pointless unless you have a decent family tree (at least 4 generations) and respond to messages because you will not be able to make the connections otherwise.

User questions & answers

Question:	It says you need an Ancestry account. Do you have to pay for their online site
Answer:	No, you don't have to pay, yet again, to see your results. If you want to see how you relate to other people via your DNA, yes, you do need a subscription. There is a 50% discount for the first 6 months or so, but you need to ask for it. I found my Father using Ancestry, BTW.
Question:	What happens to your DNA once the test is performed
Answer:	Nothing happens to it. If you are worried about someone somehow getting into the database your account is only identified as a random number. You can also send in the test under a fake name (few in my family did this, used a Pets name the street name) Only downside to doing that is you won’t be able to link to any potential relatives. At the end of the day I know DNA can be obtained from just about anything I touch or use in so if someone really wants it they can get it -shrug-
Question:	Does this kit provide info about genetic snp's like mthfr mutations
Answer:	The AncestryDNA or 23 and Me “Ethnicity + HEALTH” tests DO provide info as to what gene mutations you have and a list of what health issues you are dispositioned for due to said mutation. I, for instance, found out I have the MTHFR gene mutation. I learned who I got it from & some scary stuff, such as, being dispositioned for Schizophrenia and miscarriages (and about 99 more things). It is really hard to find a doctor who knows anything about it. You’d need to visit mthfr(dot)net and research for yourself. Sadly.
Question:	Why should i buy from amazon when there is a disclaimer stating not to because the kit could be rejected
Answer:	What the others above said was correct. It’s sold by Ancestry but shipped by Amazon. (Like most things here. Brands/sellers are selling their item on Amazon & Amazon ships. I just got my results back & my adult son should have his back any day. Super easy process and it’s fun! I was very surprised by mine. 100% Trusted to buy from Amazon. If you buy it from Ancestry site you’ll be paying like $40 in shipping (I think it’s actually more than $40) & why I purchased them here! Good luck!

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the saliva still work for the test after 2 months? I have to ship the saliva from Panama
Answer:	As long as you've added the buffer solution to your sample, it's good for up to six months. However, 23andMe sample kits must be used in and returned for analysis from, the country to which the order is originally shipped.
Question:	Im confused! some reviews say the government banned health reports yet 23&me advertises a health report. what am i missing

You can preview a full list of available reports here: https://www.23andme.com/service/
Question:	It says one lithium battery required? What does that mean
Answer:	No batteries are required.
Question:	do i get the same results from promethease for the $99 23&me kit as the $199 kit? which one should i get??? ty
Answer:	I would say that yes you get the same results. Or atleast that is my understanding from this statement that was on the promethease website."23andMe $99 "ancestry only" product, is sufficient for Promethease, or the $199 "ancestry + health" product, which also includes carrier status reports. One time payment, lifetime membership. Both products use the (same) customized Illumina chip which covers 25695 of the 94743 SNPs in SNPedia. Less than 2,000 of these are known to be in ClinVar; presumably some of the proprietarily named "i-SNPs" correspond to ClinVar/SNPedia entries as well but 23andMe does not reveal which publicly or to its non-corporate users."https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Testing

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any specific time frame between the collection and sending the specimens back to the laboratory
Answer:	Yes this test can be used on a new born child. Great Questions...Thank You!
Question:	Does this work for grandparents
Answer:	Typically to be used in court, the samples (cheek swans) would need to be collected by a medical professional. This guarantees the swabs haven't been contaminated or misused. It also provides a witness to the collection of the DNA material. For court purposes, this type of testing should not be used.
Question:	Can this be used on a one month baby
Answer:	I don't think so.
Question:	Can this be used in court
Answer:	No grip or comb, just the headband itself.

User questions & answers

Question:

Will the kit tell you which type of mthfr polymorphism that a person has? such as c677t homozygous, or heterozygous

Answer:

Hello Jennifer I’m Marcie Glicksman, the CSO for orig3n. Thanks for writing. We do test the most common and studied variant of MTHFR known as C677T. Here is a little background to understand the importance of this gene. MTHFR produces an enzyme called methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase in the body which is important for the chemical reaction involving the vitamin folate (also known as vitamin B9). We don’t make the vitamin folate in our body and have to get it from the food we eat. The function of the gene is to convert the folate you eat into an active form. Scientific studies have shown that the variant we test for is known to have reduced activity. The importance of the vitamin folate has been shown for early development of the brain as well for basic health of our cells. You can learn about what variant you have in this gene in our Folate mini-kit and it is also part of our vitamin and nutrition kits. Thanks for your question. Feel free to reach out with any more questions. ---Marcie

Product description

The DNA Paternity Test will conclusively determine whether an alleged father is the true biological father of a child. Every test is automatically run twice for 100% accuracy using the most advanced 24 genetic marker system. Our testing laboratory is AABB Accredited, CAP Accredited and CLIA certified and one of the oldest and largest in North America, providing flawless DNA testing for private and legal cases for over 20 years. The full genetic report is included with every test and is available online 1 to 3 business days after the laboratory receives the DNA sample*.



The DNA sample is collected using a discreet, quick and painless mouth swab. This test can be performed on individuals of any age, including newborns. If the individuals to be tested live in different cities, or even different countries, the DNA collection kit can be split and each component sent to a different address. The components are individually barcoded and the buccal samples will be tested together, even if sent back separately.



The DNA kit includes all the supplies required to collect a DNA sample from the child, mother and alleged father. However, testing of the mother optional and is not required for obtaining an accurate result. If DNA testing of more than one child or more than one alleged father is required, please contact Genovate directly.



This home DNA test is for discreet private sample collection for individuals wishing to find out the truth about paternity discreetly for personal knowledge. However, Genovate also offers a Legal DNA Paternity Test and has sample collection facilities in most major cities in the United States and Canada.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you have to send any form of identification
Answer:	The private DNA paternity test is for personal knowledge so it does not require any form of identification. The private paternity test is intended for individuals who wish to find out the truth about paternity before deciding on the next step.
Question:	If father has passed can I his sister be tested with the child to see if we are related with the same test
Answer:	If the father has passed and only his sister can be tested, the test that would be required is the DNA Aunt/Uncle test. The DNA Aunt/Uncle test can provide the likelihood that an alleged aunt is the true biological aunt of a nephew or niece. However, it is very important to note that while the DNA Paternity test will always provide a conclusive "yes" or "no" answer, the DNA Aunt test is only able to provide the likelihood that an aunt is the true biological aunt. Whenever possible, it is always advisable to take the DNA Paternity test over the DNA Aunt test because the DNA Paternity test is a far more powerful test. However, in situations where the alleged father is not available, the DNA Aunt test would be the next best option. If there are other children from the alleged father, a DNA Sibling Test can also be considered.
Question:	Do i get two envelopes one for child to send in and one for the Father
Answer:	The test kit contains only one return envelope. If you require two return envelopes, you can order the kit at www.genovate.com, and write "please include two return envelopes" in the comments box of the online order form.
Question:	Can this be delivered to NY address
Answer:	Unlike the other states, NY has special rules regarding DNA paternity testing. Please contact Genovate directly at 1-877-714-6357 and our DNA testing coordinators can assist you directly with your special situation.
