| Test | Identification DNA Testing |
| Indication | The analysis of highly polymorphic regions of human DNA can clarify the relationships between individuals and verify the identity of unknown individuals. Dna typing provides a valuable tool for establishing family relationships and associations between forensic specimens and criminal suspects. |
| Physiology | The genetic material of humans is highly polymorphic and an individual's genotype will represent a unique pattern that determines that persons identity and heredity. The only exception are identical twins as they have same DNA profile. |
| Normal Range | Dna identification can be used for many applications such as paternity identification, identification of military casualities, immigration dispute, sexual abuse and rape, criminal investigations. |
