Test Overview & Methodology

The Paternal Lineage Y-STR Test examines 27 short tandem repeat markers on the Y chromosome to establish or exclude patrilineal relationships. The assay is performed using capillary electrophoresis on an ABI 3500 Genetic Analyzer, delivering allele calls with forensic precision. Results are reported as a haplotype with statistical likelihood ratios, suitable for personal ancestry, family verification, and legal documentation when full chain of custody is maintained.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

“The Y-STR paternal lineage assay offers definitive genetic evidence for patrilineal relationship verification when analyzed with full chain-of-custody documentation. A mismatch across the 27-loci panel conclusively excludes a biological paternal relationship, while a complete match provides a statistical likelihood that must be interpreted alongside genealogical and legal context. This test is not a diagnostic tool for medical conditions and does not replace comprehensive genetic counseling.”

⚠️ Clinical Advisory: Medication & Test Preparation

Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your physician. The buccal swab collection is non-invasive and requires no preparation; however, if a blood draw is elected, inform the phlebotomist of any anticoagulant therapy or bleeding disorder prior to collection.

Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags

Minors (under 18 years) require signed consent from a legal guardian per UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Participants who cannot present valid Emirates ID or passport will not be tested.
If blood collection is chosen, pre-existing bleeding disorders or current anticoagulant therapy require physician clearance.
Emergency: If test-related psychological distress or misuse of genetic information occurs, contact the DHA patient safety hotline or your healthcare provider immediately.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

1. How accurate is the paternal lineage Y-STR test for legal cases in UAE?

Answer: The test achieves a 99.99% paternal exclusion probability using 27 validated Y-STR loci, meeting UAE court standards when proper chain of custody is maintained. Results are issued with a detailed forensic report suitable for legal submission.

2. What samples are required and how is home collection performed?

Answer: A simple buccal cheek swab is the standard sample. A trained phlebotomist visits your home within 8 AM – 11 PM using temperature-controlled cold-chain transport to ensure DNA integrity. Blood draw is available on request with same logistics.

3. Can this test be used for official paternity disputes in UAE courts?

Answer: Yes, when full chain-of-custody documentation is maintained and the test is performed at our DHA-licensed facility, the results are admissible as genetic evidence. We recommend coordinating with your legal counsel before testing to ensure procedural compliance.
