It even created a DNA profile for a "fetus" even though the lady tested was not pregnant. The test is performed using a sample of the woman's blood as well as cheek swabs from probable dads. Our study indicates that the results are untrustworthy, with possibly disastrous repercussions. We know of at least one case where a father was denied access to his daughter because of this test. The problem is that the fetal DNA contained in the mother's bloodstream is also DNA from the father. Therefore, if the mother is genetically identical to her fetus, then the father is too. This means that if there is a mismatch between the two genomes, then there must have been a male contribution to the fetus besides what the mother contributed. This could be because the man is not the baby's father or is even married to another man. In conclusion, we cannot say that a paternal DNA profile obtained from maternal blood samples is reliable or not. There are cases where it matches the genetic makeup of someone other than the presumed father which implies that there might be some problems with its accuracy. More research needs to be done on this topic.
