Disclaimer
Results are based on data obtained from analysis of unique DNA loci in accordance with the standards and protocols set forth by Veterinary Diagnostics Center. The accuracy of parentage interpretations is based on the information and samples provided by the client. Veterinary Diagnostics Center does not assume responsibility for errors due to mislabeled or incorrectly sampled submissions. Conclusions concerning parentage (in the absence of any supplemental client information) are derived based on a mating of two unrelated individuals.
Veterinary Diagnostics Center recommends that DNA samples from both the sire and dam be included in a parentage evaluation. If the sire or dam is not available for testing, the client should opt for extended testing using additional DNA markers. In addition, if an alleged parent has close relatives who may also be candidates for parentage, it is important this be communicated to Veterinary Diagnostics Center prior to testing. If these recommendations are not followed, the power to exclude an alleged parent will be compromised, thereby increasing the chance that the alleged parent will be falsely included as a biological parent.
DNA profiles have been provided within the laboratory data sheet. Additional individual DNA profiles can be ordered by calling 1-800-625-0874.
