The need for genetic expertise may arise in the investigation of criminal cases, when it is necessary to determine the belonging of biological materials found at the crime scene, to identify the unidentified remains of a deceased person, to establish paternity, if the parties have doubts about this, and for other similar reasons.
Necessary
- - an agreement with an expert laboratory;
- - biological material for research;
- - documents proving the identity of the investigated persons;
- - court ruling.
Instructions
Step 1
First you need to choose a medical institution that provides such services. Not all medical centers are equipped with modern equipment. In many so far, genetic research is carried out only on blood samples of those who applied. If it is necessary to establish paternity anonymously, then it is advisable to contact those clinics in which biological materials are taken for analysis, the fence of which can be done independently (saliva, hair, nails, etc.), without attracting the attention of the rest of the family.
Step 2
The establishment of family ties can be carried out both by the decision of the judicial authorities and at the request of individuals. It is possible to apply for genetic analysis to the Federation of Forensic Experts. Usually these services are paid, if the appeal was by a court order, then the court decides who will pay for the examination. Individuals conclude an agreement with a medical center for genetic testing.
Step 3
When contacting the clinic, you must have identity documents with you: passport, birth certificate of the child, court order, if any, permission and presence of one of the parents of the minor child or guardian. The guardian must present documents for the right of custody.
Step 4
After completing the necessary documents, completing the contract, the customer pays for the genetic study according to the clinic's price list.
Step 5
Next, you need to pass the necessary tests. Standard samples of biological material can be: saliva, earwax, blood, hair, nails and other samples containing human cells. Since any cell of the body contains a set of DNA in its nucleus, it does not matter where the cell is taken from for a genetic study, this will not affect the test result, and it will be unambiguous in any case.
Step 6
The judicial authorities can submit to the expert laboratory of the medical center by registered mail: court ruling, biological material, protocol for sampling biological material (material can be collected by another medical institution), copies of documents and documents confirming payment for the service. center all the necessary biological materials for analysis, making their own sampling.
Step 7
If the customer of the study was a private person, then in about 5 to 25 days he receives an act of genetic research in his hands, which can be submitted to a court or other state body to prove the presence or absence of relationship. The result of the DNA examination when applied by the judicial authorities is drawn up in the form of a "Conclusion on the results of genetic examination" and sent to the court, which determined the conduct of the examination. The deadline is the same. The parties can find out the result of the examination only when it is announced by the court.
