How accurate are At-Home DNA Tests?
The accuracy of an at-home paternity test matches that of a legal paternity test. Both are analyzed using the same laboratory procedures and standards.
The main difference is sample collection. At-home kits require self-collection, so sample quality depends on how carefully instructions are followed and can affect whether the lab can generate a complete genetic profile.
