How Can A DNA Test Help Me?
The type of DNA tests we are proficient in provides our customers peace of mind, and if necessary, the evidence desired for legal purposes. Journey Genetic Testing does not provide medical predisposition testing or genealogical testing. We often are asked why we specialize in just paternity and family association testing, and the explanation is that with both heritage tests and genetic test kit to determine likelihood of a genetic condition issues, the results can never be said to be 100% accurate. We only want to bring to you test results that we can be certain are scientifically correct.
Actually, we often provide our assistance after a person is sent a ancestry report suggesting they they have found a possible “unknown brother or sister”. You may be interested to learn that almost 50% of the time when people want to verify ancestry findings, and test with a person they are told is a relative, in person-to-person AABB accredited testing, find they cannot be related.
When issues are brought up about family relationships, the questions do not often go away by themselves. In fact, they don’t go away even years later until the truth is revealed. Understanding this, and helping you through these times, is one reason why we are here.
The DNA testing we do for our clients in Canby, OR determines the statistical feasibility that two or more individuals are or are not biologically related.

You should also be aware that different states and regions may restrict the type of genetic testing you can order in direct to consumer testing. We hold the belief that each person should be entitled to make the choice that is right for them in regards to this process. Equally we want to respect the laws that determine what tests can be done.

Collecting A DNA Sample
The most popular way to obtain the necessary DNA sample is to use a mouth swab, often referred to as a “buccal” swab, which is very similar to a “Q-tip” cotton swab. The swabs are rubbed on the inside cheeks of the mouth for each sibling (and the mother, if testing) for about 15 – 30 second per side. It is painless and quick.

When it is not possible to obtain a mouth swab sample voluntarily, or if you wish to have the testing to be done in a more discreet manner, we are often able to test items other than a mouth swab. These are known as non-standard, or alternative, DNA samples. We can test these types of DNA samples at a reasonable additional cost. To learn more about alternative DNA samples, please CLICK HERE.
