The
DNA Clinic
The
Cottage Counselling Centre DNA Clinic is part of a network of
DNA Clinics set up around the UK in association with our laboratory.
The
aim of the DNA Clinic is to offer face to face consultations and
support while providing the most accurate DNA test available.
When
undertaking a DNA test at the DNA clinic you will be assigned
an individual case manager. They will guide you through your DNA
test, take your DNA samples (mouth swabs) and offer you impartial
support. You will be given the choice of how you initially receive
your DNA test result, following which a range of counselling options
will also be made available to you. Therefore you can choose the
level of support you need as an individual/family.
The
DNA Test
The
DNA test compares the DNA from all individuals involved, to establish
whether a biological relationship exists. A DNA test is the most
accurate way to determine whether individuals are related.
The
DNA test carried out at our laboratories will analyse 16 genetic
locations, which is the most accurate DNA test available.
The
price of the DNA test (£239 including VAT) includes the
testing of one mother, one father (alleged), one child and one
Results Package. Additional persons can be included in the DNA
test at a cost of £99 per person. Additional Results Packages
can be supplied at a cost of £15 each.
The
price of the DNA test also entitles you to an initial consultation
(1/2 hour) during which the DNA samples (mouth swabs) will be
taken and an optional results session (1/2 hour) with your case
manager, during which you will be given your DNA test result.
