The cost of establishing paternity, or how much a DNA test costs

In our country, not all children are born to parents who have legally registered marital relations. In such cases, the relationship of the potential father and child is not automatically established. In order to determine the parental legal connection, it is necessary to test the relationship.

This procedure is more of a formality. It does not require large financial and time expenditures. However, this only applies to those cases when a man agrees to the test voluntarily. In other cases, the mother and potential father will have to go through many proceedings.

How to check the relationship between a man and a child?

According to experts, DNA analysis to establish paternity is the most popular among other types of DNA research. Today this method is the most reliable.

It is based on the polymerase chain reaction method. Because DNA paternity testing is painstaking, complex and high-tech, parents have to wait 10 to 15 days for results. However, in special cases, specialists can give an answer within 4 days.

In this case, an additional fee is required. The reliability of DNA analysis results is 99%. To check the relationship of a man with a child using DNA analysis, it is enough to contact a medical center or laboratory where such services are provided.

Specialists take biological material from the child and the alleged father. Sometimes the mother's material is used to ensure accurate results. The material used is usually saliva or scrapings from the inside of the cheek. DNA analysis does not require special preparation.

DNA research, the results of which can be recognized by the court, is carried out solely with the consent of all persons. Before the analysis, the customer of the service enters into a written contract and pays for the analysis.

DNA test price in Russia

Before taking a DNA paternity test, most parents are interested not only in the reputation of the laboratory, but also in the prices it offers. As a rule, the cost of the service depends on the number of people who take the test and the urgency of it.

If established through court

If the research results need to be delivered to the court or other government agencies, specialists will have to identify each participant in the examination. To establish the identity of each person, it is necessary to provide a passport and birth certificate.

Before the analysis, documents are copied and certified with the laboratory’s seal. The participants in the examination are then photographed, fill out a protocol for collecting materials, indicate their passport details, as well as the time and place of receiving the samples.

In this case, the court itself appoints a laboratory or medical center where the examination should be carried out. Employees of the medical institution submit the results to the court.

The cost of pre-trial or judicial DNA testing for paternity and maternity at the DNA Diagnostic Center in Moscow and St. Petersburg is 16,500 rubles. Results are provided after 12 days.

The price for an urgent DNA test in the Invitro laboratory is 36,210 rubles. If there is no urgent need, the same service will have the following price - 17,210 rubles.

Cost of anonymous analysis

Anonymous DNA test results are for personal use only. The conclusion of such an analysis has no legal force. In this case, the samples required for the study can be obtained independently.

The cost of examination at the Center for Molecular Genetic Expertise is 6,900 rubles . If you collect biological material yourself, the cost of the service will be 5,900 rubles.

Price for prenatal non-invasive test

In certain life situations, establishing paternity is required when the baby is still in the womb. In order not to harm the fetus, experts recommend non-invasive DNA text testing.

In this case, geneticists isolate the child’s extracellular DNA from the blood of the expectant mother. Then, using a sequencing method, they accurately determine the probability of paternity.

Today, this method of establishing kinship is the most reliable and safe. An antenatal test is performed early in pregnancy, after 10 weeks.

The mother and the putative father take part in the test. The biological material is the blood of the mother and father.

The cost of this service at the Center for Molecular Genetic Expertise is 35,000 rubles. The results of this study are ready 14-21 business days after the analysis.

Dear readers! Our articles talk about typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is unique.

Cost of genetic testing to establish paternity posthumously

In this case, the paternity establishment procedure is carried out to confirm the relationship between the deceased father and the child who was born out of wedlock. Without establishing the fact of paternity, the child cannot count on receiving state benefits or inheritance.

Since it is very problematic to obtain biological material from a deceased father after burial, close relatives of the putative father can act as donors. However, blood for examination can be removed posthumously while the body is in the morgue.

If the child's grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, brothers, sisters or other alleged relatives do not object to the examination, a DNA test can be performed to determine kinship.

The cost of this service at the Center for Genetic Research starts from 17,000 rubles.

Where can I do it cheaply and is it possible to pay in installments?

The favorable cost of DNA paternity testing is offered by the genetic research center “Lab DNK”, which is located in St. Petersburg. The price of this service is 8800 rubles.

Accurate results will be provided to clients within 3 days. Since some parents cannot pay for the examination, they are encouraged to take out a loan.

A similar service is available in the Family DNA laboratory in Krasnodar.

How much does it cost to conduct a genetic analysis of an ancestor's genome?

Using DNA analysis, you can not only determine or refute paternity, but also find out your ethnic origin. By conducting a professional examination, you can obtain information about your origin.

Such an analysis allows you to find out what percentage of a particular person’s genome is from different ethnic groups. Experts will find the number of “cousins” within 5-6 generations along all lines of kinship. This DNA test can include analysis of the paternal line (only available for men).

Analysis of the maternal line demonstrates in which migration processes maternal ancestors took part. The search in this case is carried out against a worldwide database of genetic cousins. The cost of a genetic analysis of an ancestor’s genome at the Lab DNK genetic research center is 9,900 rubles.

This allows us to determine whether the child received the necessary genetic information from the putative father. The cost of this service varies from center to center. Before you sign up for such a DNA test, you must discuss all issues with a representative of the medical institution.

Genetic paternity testing in 2020: price, who pays, where to do it, what is needed

Reading time 8 minutes  Ask a lawyer faster. It's free! Font size: A+ | A−

Establishing paternity by DNA analysis is the most reliable way to verify the presence or absence of blood relationships between certain people.

In some situations, this procedure is the only opportunity to determine the presence of paternity in order to establish legal relations between a man and a child.

Every year in Russia, on average, up to 7,000 such examinations are carried out and their popularity is constantly growing.

Why?

Typically, DNA genetic testing is prescribed to determine biological relationships. The grounds for its implementation may be different: challenging paternity, receiving inherited property, collecting alimony payments from a possible father, etc.

If doubt arises that a man is the child’s father, a special examination can be carried out. This procedure is carried out in a specialized laboratory that has passed the appropriate accreditation and has a license to conduct this type of activity.

It should be noted that the results obtained cannot serve as recognition of paternity. Establishing such a fact is the exclusive prerogative of the judicial authority.

The initiators of establishing the fact of paternity can be:

• Potential father;
• Citizen included in the baby's birth certificate;
• Mother of a child, in a situation where a man refuses such a relationship;
• The child can independently upon reaching the age of 18 years.

How much does a DNA paternity test cost?

When considering cases of paternity, its establishment or challenge, the judge accepts any evidence presented by the parties to the dispute.

But in practice, without reliable results of genetic research, it is quite difficult to determine the actual father of the child.

Consequently, courts issue negative verdicts without such evidence, often guided only by the interests of the child.

The average cost of such analyzes can reach 20 thousand rubles.

Who pays for genetic testing?

In a situation where a DNA test confirms paternity, the court's decision will establish the child's origin from the father. The party in whose favor the decision is made is awarded compensation from the defendant for all legal expenses incurred . That is, if the examination was carried out at the request of the plaintiff, for example, the mother, and she paid for the test, then all her expenses should be compensated by the father, but on the condition that the examination confirms his blood relationship with the child.

If the claim is partially satisfied, costs may be awarded in proportion to the amount of claims satisfied by the court, and to the other party, accordingly, in proportion to the share of claims that were denied to the applicant.

The procedure for ordering genetic testing for paternity through the court

The appropriateness of the test and its purpose is determined by the judge considering disputes about establishing or challenging paternity, at the request of one or more parties.

By law, judges do not have the right to initiate genetic research or force participants in the process to conduct it if there is no voluntary consent to this. Even in a situation where DNA tests are the only way to establish a family connection between people.

But at the same time, in judicial practice there are often cases when a citizen’s evasion from participation in a molecular genetic study appointed for the judicial establishment of kinship with a child is regarded as an opportunity to recognize paternity as established in court.

The interested party's petition must contain a question that needs to be raised to identify laboratory specialists, as well as identify the person paying for the research.

It is important that the specific formulation of the task set for the resolution of specialists is important; questions must be posed unambiguously in order to exclude their unreliable interpretation.

There may be different possible presentations of possible conclusions that may play a role in the outcome of the trial.

The following questions may be asked for permission from specialists:

• Does the material taken for research belong to a specific person;
• Based on the test results, whether one of the parties is the biological father of a particular child;
• The plaintiff or defendant is the mother of the child;
• A woman becomes pregnant due to a specific man.

The obligation to pay for the examination rests with the person who filed the application to conduct it. If the party to the proceeding who is charged with paying for the tests evades compensation, the expert institution issues an invoice, the amount of which is taken into account by the court when distributing costs between the parties to the proceeding.

An application for a genetic test must contain the circumstances presented by the interested person that require confirmation through such an examination, as well as an argument for the possibility of obtaining the required information to confirm the biological relationship of the father and child by obtaining a specialist opinion. The petition can indicate a specific employee or expert organization that the interested participant in legal proceedings trusts to conduct DNA research.

Such examinations can only be carried out by laboratories that have a license to carry out such activities and have passed accreditation, which eliminates the provision of poor-quality analysis and the receipt of false test results.

In addition, even the interpretation of information obtained during the research process requires highly specialized education from experts.

Therefore, DNA paternity testing through the court can only be ordered in private and public medical institutions that are equipped with the necessary equipment to conduct such studies and trained experts for such activities.

In a situation where the parties to the dispute want to independently carry out a genetic examination without a court ruling, and then present it as evidence, then before receiving an expert’s opinion, it is necessary to check with the medical organization for a special license. The court cannot rely on the result of the examination if the laboratory in which the service was provided does not have the appropriate license to provide medical services for forensic examination of research evidence and studies of biological material, including DNA examination.

It should be noted that subjects who have undergone an expert analysis in an institution that does not have the right to provide such a service will need to take the test again and pay for it again to prove the relationship between the father and the child.

In the event of a judicial determination of the need to conduct research, the court's ruling indicates the expert institution that carries out such testing of genetic material. Having received the expert's opinion, the parties to the proceeding have the right to demand from the judge to call the specialist who conducted the test to question him at court hearings about the work performed.

Procedure for conducting DNA research

To carry out a genetic test, both father and child will need to take a blood test.

In some cases, material is also taken from the mother. In order for the results obtained to have legal force in judicial proceedings, all activities must be carried out in full compliance with the requirements of current legislation and comply with the following procedure:

1. Interested persons providing biomaterial for research must contact the organization conducting the examination, providing a passport and birth certificate of the child.
2. Blood sampling from study participants is carried out in the presence of witnesses.
3. Laboratory assistants seal envelopes with tests and send them to the medical laboratory.
4. The results of the forensic medical examination of molecular genetic material are sent directly to the judicial authority. They must accurately, without various assumptions, make it possible to determine the possibility of paternity of a particular person in relation to a particular child, and if a relationship is not excluded, then what is the probability that the information obtained is not the result of a random identity of individual characteristics of non-relative people.

It should be noted that in accordance with established medical standards, the degree of evidence of the examination of the fact of biological relationship must reach a certain level. For example, the laboratory has the right to make a conclusion about the indisputability of the paternity of a particular person if the DNA of the father and the baby matches:

• At least 99.90% when the analysis was taken from three people - mother, child and potential father;
• More than 99.75% if the biomaterial was provided by the father and child.

The provisions of procedural law allow for additional research if the prepared conclusion does not clearly answer the questions posed.

In addition, the court may order a re-examination when doubts arise about the reliability and validity of the data or contradictions in the information are identified. But the activity of a judge is limited by the legislative deadlines for conducting legal proceedings, and therefore a re-examination is ordered only in individual cases.

On the procedure for conducting forensic
molecular genetic examination
of the controversial origin of children (Download)

To conduct an examination of the disputed origin of children  (disputed paternity/maternity), the examined persons: mother, child and putative father (unless otherwise determined) must appear for blood donation for examination - daily (except Saturday and Sunday) from 10 to 12 o'clock - to the laboratory Russian Center for Forensic Medical Examination of the Ministry of Health of Russia at the address:   Moscow, st. Polikarpova, 12/13

The nearest metro station is “Begovaya”, exit to 1st Khoroshevsky Proezd, then walk 10 minutes to the street.  Polikarpova, 12., entrance to the laboratory from Begovoy Proezd Directions

In the laboratory, blood is taken from the subjects in the amount of 0.3-0.5 ml from a finger. A standard paternity examination involves taking blood for examination from the child, his mother and the putative father (in agreement with the authorities that ordered the examination, it is possible to carry out the examination in the absence of the child’s mother).

Blood sampling is carried out upon presentation of identity documents by the persons being examined.

The volume of blood taken is very small, the procedure is carried out with sterile disposable scarifiers and does not cause harm to health. The age of the child is unlimited. There are no special dietary requirements.

NOTES:

1).In accordance with clause 84.4 of the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated May 12, 2010 No. 346n, art.

2).

At the discretion of the body that ordered the examination , it is allowed to take biological samples not from the medical institution entrusted with carrying out the examination, but  from other medical institutions ( for example, in the Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination at the regional level, a clinic at the place of residence or work - in the amount of 0.5 - 1 ml, and sending these blood samples dried on gauze by mail or delivering them to the laboratory  by express ... In this case, the samples must be packaged individually, each in a sealed paper bag. The packaging must be equipped with an identifying inscription (based on an identity document ) and the signatures of the medical worker who took the blood and two medical workers present during the procedure, certified by the seal of the medical institution.

3).

In special cases (with non-standard examinations in agreement with the head of the department), instead of blood samples of the examined persons, other objects may be analyzed: smears (scrapings) from the oral mucosa, discharge, dried traces of blood and discharge, teeth, bones, hair, abortion material , objects from the corpses of parents and children, bones and bone fragments, soft tissue .

4). It is not necessary to provide materials from the civil  case .

♦ Molecular genetic methods of analysis are used for evidentiary identification of a person and the establishment of his consanguinity in the forensic examination of material evidence of a biological nature.

These methods provide the ability to identify individualizing characteristics at the level of the human genetic matrix—cellular DNA.

A special technology for using DNA isolated from biological objects as their individualizing characteristics is called molecular genetic individualization .

This technology (also called DNA typing, “genomic fingerprinting”) is the most modern and most evidence-based method in the production of both forensic examination of personal identification and in establishing biological kinship (paternity and maternity).

♦ Forensic molecular genetic expert research is a licensed type of research.

The right to conduct these studies is given by the “ License to carry out medical activities ”, in the mandatory annex to which - in the nomenclature of “ permitted types, methods and work ” - the following must be indicated: “carrying out specialized medical care in: forensic medical examination of material evidence and research biological objects - genetic" (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 16, 2012 No. 291).

DNA paternity test in 2020: how much does the examination cost, how to do it?

Designed by Freepik

A genetic paternity test is indisputable evidence when establishing a blood relationship between a man and a minor. Legally, the latter is secured by recording in the civil register and the birth certificate of the offspring.

Often, the court resorts to such an examination when considering the application of the baby’s father, seeking to obtain the rights and obligations in relation to the minor, or his mother, who wants to collect alimony from the citizen in favor of the child. DNA testing can be carried out not only during court proceedings, but also in pre-trial, private and anonymous settings.

The article will tell you where you can take the study and what its cost is as of 2019.

What is the point of testing?

Genetic research is an advanced technique that helps establish family relationships between people. Previously, such events had not been held. Paternity was determined solely by external similarities and witness testimony.

Today there is no need for exclusive consideration of circumstantial evidence. At the slightest doubt, it is enough to resort to laboratory procedures and get a 99.9 percent result. In this case, the age of the offspring does not matter.

If a match is found between the material of the minor and the father, the court issues a decision to establish paternity. If there are no common features, then the authority refuses to satisfy the plaintiff’s demands. Such a test is required in the following situations:

• confirmation of the relationship between a minor and a man for the purpose of collecting alimony payments;
• establishing a connection between persons when inheriting property;
• establishing paternity if the baby’s father doubts the relationship;
• the need to obtain rights and responsibilities in relation to the offspring, if the citizen was not initially included in the birth certificate;
• for examination of kinship with other citizens (brothers, uncles, etc.);
• Y chromosome analysis;
• Mitochondrial DNA examination.

How to do an examination?

Testing can be done both after the baby is born and before. In the first case, the research methodology sometimes leads to premature birth of a child or the need to terminate a pregnancy. Therefore, it is better to resolve issues related to establishing kinship after the child is born.

Important! To identify matches and make a positive conclusion, the genetic material of a minor and a man is required. However, experts recommend taking samples from both parents. In this case, the result is faster and more informative.

One way to obtain a sample is to collect venous blood. This test was the first to appear. Today it is rarely used, especially if the child is very small. The second method is to obtain saliva.

You can take a smear at home. For this:

• saliva is removed from the inner surface of the cheek with a sterile cotton swab;
• the sample is placed in a special container (purchased at a pharmacy) and transferred to the medical center;
• At the registration desk, fill out a form and sign an agreement for the provision of services.

• Question:
• Is it possible to submit other biomaterial for analysis?
• Answer:

Sometimes specialized organizations offer to donate hair, nails, teeth, sperm, etc. for research. However, this is not convenient enough, because many rules will need to be followed when collecting and storing such material.

For example, if the comb was used not only by the baby’s father, but also by other people, then the DNA examined in the hair may lead to the opposite result. In addition, the material must be extracted with the bulb.

It is the latter that contains DNA.

DNA test during pregnancy

Conducting an analysis while a woman is pregnant is a risky procedure that requires professionalism from an expert and, undoubtedly, is reflected in the price.

Not all clinics and diagnostic centers carry out collection of biomaterial from the fetus. The process is controlled by ultrasound.

Despite possible complications, such a procedure will help not only to obtain proof of paternity, but also to identify genetic diseases (fetal malformations).

Methods for collecting material depend on the week of pregnancy:

• Chorionic villus biopsy - up to 12 weeks.
• Amniocentesis – 14-20.
• Cordocentesis - after 20 weeks.

How long should I wait for results?

The kit is examined only if it was collected within 7-10 days before delivery to the laboratory. Otherwise, the result is not guaranteed, and its accuracy is reduced.

Analyzes are done over 2-3 weeks. The period depends on the workload of the employees of the center to which the applicant applied. Sometimes the process can be expedited for a fee. As a rule, an additional fee of up to 8 thousand rubles is charged for an urgent test. In this case, the maximum waiting time will be 7 days.

The accuracy of the analysis of the material with a positive answer is precisely 99.9%, and not 100%, for the reason that the baby’s father may have a twin brother with an identical set of genes. In case of a negative result, the accuracy will be 100%.

What are the features of the analysis carried out for the court?

If research is required to resolve legal disputes, then it is necessary to identify all participants in the examination. Identity is confirmed by presenting an identification document, a birth certificate (for children under 14 years of age). After receiving the papers, they are photocopied and the copies are stamped with the seal of the expert organization. Participants must be photographed.

The sample collection protocol contains passport data, time and place of sample collection. Two or three signatures are placed on the form: the expert who carries out the fence, and two witnesses. After this, the protocol is certified by the laboratory’s seal.

If at least one of these steps was carried out incorrectly or ignored, then the process of identifying participants will not acquire legal significance.

Important! An examination ordered by the court must be carried out only in the laboratory to which the authority issued the referral. If citizens presented conclusions from other research centers, the body will not take this evidence into account.

How much does the examination cost?

Currently, even in small cities there are laboratories that provide citizens with examination services. Independent medical centers provide services to establish biological paternity. As a rule, the customer visits the organization and submits a sample on site. Sometimes citizens independently collect biomaterial for analysis and send it by courier.

The cost depends on the following factors:

• test type;
• number of study participants;
• type of biomaterial (can increase the price by a third);
• urgency;
• policy determined by a specific organization (clinic).

1. Question:
2. What is the cost of the procedure in Moscow?
3. Answer:
4. In Moscow, prices for genetic testing are as follows:

• conducting a DNA paternity test with taking samples from a minor and a man will cost 10–12 thousand rubles;
• a judicial analysis to determine the relationship between parent and offspring will cost 16–18 thousand rubles;
• if a pregnant woman and her partner are participants in the procedure, then for laboratory manipulations you will have to prepare an impressive amount - up to 90 thousand rubles;
• For urgency, an additional 4 thousand will be charged.

Who pays for laboratory services?

The person paying for services in a lawsuit is an interested party in the case. The large sum may be paid by the applicant himself or may be divided between both parents. In the latter case, it is necessary to formulate a joint statement of claim to establish paternity.

Important! If the initiative to conduct research to establish family ties between the minor and the defendant comes from the authority considering the petition, then the payment is made from the federal budget.

If the claims filed by the baby's mother are satisfied, the defendant, recognized as the minor's father, will be required to pay the funds spent by the applicant in connection with the DNA test.

Conclusion

Thus, establishing the identity of an offspring through DNA testing is an inalienable right of a citizen of the Russian Federation. If the analysis is carried out in a complete family, and the parents do not conflict with each other, then you should think carefully about whether it is necessary to bring samples to the clinic.

Specialized laboratories engaged in genetic research offer their services for determining paternity using various biomaterials of citizens (blood, saliva, hair).

The cost varies depending on the type of sample, time of sample collection (pregnancy, newborn), prices of the medical organization and the urgency of the order. Ultimately, the participant paying for the event must prepare from 10 to 90 thousand rubles.

If the procedure is carried out for the court, then the authority itself issues a referral to a specific institution. If a conclusion is provided to another organization, the evidence will not be taken into account.

How much does a DNA paternity test cost?

DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. It is contained in every organism and carries unique unique information that can only be transmitted from parents to children. That is, thanks to genetically endowed data, we establish a blood connection with our relatives.

There can be no repetitions or matches with other people, since the DNA strand contains a unique set of chromosomes. As a result, if we have biological material of two people that contains genetic data, we can confirm or refute a blood relationship with high accuracy.

Who pays for the examination

The examination must be paid for by the one who initiated this action.

If the parents made such a decision by mutual consent, then they can divide the cost of genetic testing in half, especially considering its expensive price.

If the examination is ordered by the court, then the plaintiff will bear the material costs, and if he is found to be right and a positive decision is made on the claim, the defendant is obliged to compensate all expenses.

Biomaterials for analysis

To conduct a genetic examination, it is necessary to provide biological material from two people that contains DNA data and, based on their decoding, to compare the probability of a match. So, what can act as a biomaterial for DNA analysis.

Blood collection

Blood is one of the main carriers of human information. From it you can also isolate a DNA chain with a certain set of chromosomes.

Blood is taken from a vein, and the material is collected only within the walls of the laboratory.

Today, blood is used less and less as a test material, since it causes severe discomfort to a small child and, accordingly, causes a lot of inconvenience.

Swab of the inner surface of the cheek

The most common biological material is saliva. Moreover, it is advisable to take it from the inside of the cheek, this is where saliva acts as part of the buccal epithelium. Saliva contains the same set of genetic information as blood. At the same time, taking a saliva sample for research is quite easy and painless.

This can be done even at home, but with the help of a special kit that is sent to you by a representative of the medical center who will conduct the examination. This includes a set of envelopes, tweezers, gloves, containers, cotton swabs for each subject, as well as instructions, which increases the reliability of the final result.

Before collecting biological material, you should not eat, drink or smoke for 2 hours.

Taking biomaterial at home is a convenient way to find out the likelihood of a family relationship, however, the results of such a genetic examination cannot be presented in court as evidence. For these purposes, analysis should be carried out only within the walls of the laboratory.

Non-standard samples

If it is not possible to collect from the inside of the cheek, there are several alternative options for the biomaterial being studied. Typically, this technique is used in cases where it is necessary to keep secret the examination to establish kinship. So these could be:

• hair;
• cigarette butt;
• nails;
• dried natural discharge on clothes;
• Toothbrush;
• sperm;
• underwear;
• razor blade.

The listed research objects also contain a cellular set of genes. However, it is very important to adhere to certain rules so that the results of the examination are not distorted.

For example, when providing hair, it must not just be cut, but with a bulb, that is, pulled out by the roots. The linen should also be unwashed, and no one else should use the razor except the owner.

If you have already decided what you will provide to the laboratory, then you can call a center employee in advance to find out all the details.

Prices for DNA analysis

DNA examinations are most often carried out by private medical centers, as a result of which prices can vary significantly. The cost of a DNA paternity test starts from 12,000 rubles. According to the following conditions, it can be equal to:

• 17,000-18,000 rubles to establish paternity, if the relationship of the second parent is indisputable;
• 15,000 rubles for establishing paternity in the absence of samples from the second parent;
• 16,000-18,000 rubles establishing paternity for two children;
• 18,000-20,000 rubles paternity results for submission to the court;
• From 30,000 rubles prenatal establishment of paternity, depending on the method of sampling and the duration of pregnancy.

Additional services:

• establishing maternity - from 12,000 rubles;
• establishing a close relationship - from 12,000 rubles;
• establishing a cousin relationship - from 12,000 rubles;
• determination of a sibling/half-brother – from 12,000 rubles;
• twin test - from 12,000 rubles;
• avuncular test - from 12,000 rubles;
• Y-chromosome testing - from 10,000 rubles;
• X chromosome testing - from 10,000 rubles;
• Mitochondrial DNA analysis - from 15,000 rubles.

The price also depends on the number of markers that are taken for research (from 16-33). The more there are, the higher the likelihood of results.

Prices for DNA testing will vary slightly in different cities. You can get results in 7-10 days. For urgency - up to 3 days, you will have to pay an additional 3000-5000 rubles.

As for the cost in other regions of Russia, it will not be the same.

For example, in Saratov or Tula the price will be more expensive by an average of 3,000 rubles, since this type of service is rare.

Today, genetic testing is not carried out often, and not all cities offer this service, which is why its price is quite high.

Therefore, it is best to conduct a DNA examination once for 15,000 rubles and establish paternity, rather than be left guessing.
