My hubby is adopted, and when his mom took him for a dna test, it came out that one of the guys that they tested was 50, 50 his dad. which means he was half his dad and half not. But this doen't mean that that guy was his dad, it just means that that guy is related to his dad! make sence? if you have any more qustions for me about this, or if something is unclear to you about what i said, then don't be afraid to email me! trouble0218@yahoo.com i hope this helps answer your question!
God Bless

It would be possible to make a mistake and state that the man is NOT the father but nigh on impossible to have the test state he IS, when he isn't - the strands of DNA have to be identical, and unless he has an identical twin, it's just not going to happen. I suppose there could be an administrative error where a letter with the wrong information could be sent, but the test itself would not be wrong.

Yes, they can be wrong. Have you heard of people being their own twins? They've had it on CSI, Discovery, Discovery Health...Very Very rare, but I was also one of the rare cases where my ex disputed the fact of our first daughter being his after we had put her up for adoption. The test it's self was messed up somehow..It came back with the 60% chance that she was his, so we had another done by a different company and it came back 98.96% chance that she was his. Most states accept anything above 96% because of the small margin of error due to DNA not replicating exactly as it should.

Nothing is perfect, but I believe those tests are extremely accurate, and they will not give you results until they are 99.9% sure. Then, there is always that 0.01% of the test being wrong.

they can get it wrong but extremely rare
if they did make a mistake i would say it was more likely to be an input error on the comp

it would very unlikely as they compare 2 peoples cells stricture the fault if any would lay with admin side of things not the actual test.

DNA TESTS ARE ALWAYS ACCURATE... I HAD A DNA TEST DONE TO PROVE THAT MY BABIES FATHER WAS THE FATHER.. IT WAS A SIMPLE AND ACCURATE PROCESS.
