Ormond Quay Paternity Services (OQPS), a leading paternity testing company claimed its business has rocketed by 80 per cent over the last year because of the “Great Irish Mammy Syndrome”. IRISH mothers who refuse to believe their cherished sons have fathered illegitimate children are among the most popular users of DNA paternity testing services.

The company also claimed that potential grandmothers contact the company to find out how to disprove allegations that their son had casual sex. OQPS claimed that more young sexual partners are turning to DNA testing as a result of crisis pregnancies linked to Ireland’s drink culture. It also claimed one in three of its tests over the past 18 months turned up negative – showing the male client were not the biological father of the child. In 88 per cent of the tests carried out, it was found that the man and woman tested did not share the same surname.

According to OQPS, there are numerous possible reasons for a rise in the number of tests being carried out, including a drop in the costs. To know more about DNA paternity testing services, please visit the site http://www.oqps.ie

Is There a Need for DNA Sibling test?

bobsmith123 — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 06:21:09 +0000

Over the years, people have wondered about their relationships with other people because of adoption, unknown parents and other reasons. Therefore the need for sibling DNA testing has become quite common nowadays.

The two types of DNA Sibling test are; Half Sibling test and Full Sibling test. The test that tells whether the siblings share one common parent is a half sibling test, while the full sibling test shows that two individuals share common biological parents. The sibling test is conducted in the same manner as a regular paternity test. The procedure requires samples from both siblings and if possible a parent or both parents. Swabs are placed in the mouths of the various parties and samples of DNA are obtained. The parties giving their DNA must then sign a consent form giving their consent for their DNA to be tested.

OQPS offers DNA sibling test services to determine sibling genetic relationships. DNA Sibling test from OQPS can help two individuals verify whether they are full or half siblings. The company also offers DNA paternity test, Court Admissible DNA test, Pre-Natal test and other DNA test services with the highest quality of care.

DNA Sibling Test – Types

bobsmith123 — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 12:52:13 +0000

In the DNA sibling test, two children are tested to determine whether they share the same biological parent or parents. Two individuals born of the same biological parents share much more of their DNA than individuals that are not related to one another. There are two types of DNA Sibling Test:

Half Sibling Test: This test is performed when two alleged siblings believe they only share one biological parent (as in when two siblings know that they do not have the same mother and are trying to determine if they have the same father). In other words, a half-sibling DNA index can be obtained to determine whether the siblings share only one common parent, versus two common parents.
Full Sibling Test: This test is performed when two siblings share one biological parent and would like to know if they share the other parent as well (as in when two siblings know they have the same mother and wish to find out if they have the same father).

Ormond Quay Paternity Services (OQPS), a leading DNA test provider in Ireland offers DNA sibling test to help two individuals verify whether they are full or half siblings. On an average, full siblings (share both biological parents) have 50% of their DNA in common, half siblings (share only one biological parent) have 25% of their DNA in common. With the results of a DNA sibling test, OQPS can determine if two people are siblings based on the amount and specific type of DNA they have in common.

Methods for Pre-Natal DNA Tests

When to have a Prenatal DNA Test done?

Whether you can have a Prenatal DNA test done during your pregnancy depends on the method and time you choose for the DNA test. Prenatal paternity tests require a little more attention and care than having the paternity test after the baby is born.

The two methods recommended by most of the doctors for Prenatal DNA tests are Amniocentesis or CVS. Amniocentesis involves taking a sampling of the amniotic fluid surrounding an unborn fetus. Amniocentesis can be performed during the 14th to 24th week of pregnancy, meaning the second trimester. On the other hand, CVS includes taking a portion of the placenta in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Both these methods of prenatal genetic testing have their inherent risks and these should be considered when deciding to have Prenatal DNA Testing done or which method to use. To know more about DNA Testing services, please visit the site http://www.oqps.ie

Can DNA Paternity Test can be done During Pregnancy?

bobsmith123 — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 10:59:19 +0000

DNA testing and biomedical technology is so advanced nowadays that DNA paternity testing can be done even with the child still in the mother’s womb. This is what is known as “Prenatal DNA Paternity Testing”.

Therefore, it is always advisable to avoid any DNA paternity testing for females who are expecting. The various reasons for prenatal testing are (1) to confirm the biological identity of the father (2) detect the sex of the baby (3) to confirm the pregnancy.

Prenatal DNA paternity test is more expensive than any other DNA test. It is now compulsory to get doctors’ consent to have the testing done. To know more about DNA testing, please visit the site http://www.oqps.ie
