Bobby Fischer Paternity Test Result
Posted on | October 28, 2010 | No Comments
The results of Bobby Fischer’s paternity test results are out and finally it is known that Jinky Jong is not his biological daughter. The nine year old girl from the Philippines had earlier this year come forward with her mother who claimed her daughter to be the child of Bobby Fischer and thus, entitled to his estate.
World chess champion Bobby Fischer does paternity test
Fischer had already been buried in Iceland when the girl and her mother came forward with their claim early in 2010; can I do a paternity if the alleged father is dead? The answer is yes . An exhumation of the corpse is however, often necessary. This was in fact done to be able to scientifically verify whether the chess player’s biological daughter was Jinky Jong.
After the exhumation, Jong provided a blood sample to be compared in the analysis with that of a sample taken from Fischer, her alleged father.
Whenever the legitimacy of heirs comes into question, it is not uncommon for the legal systems in many countries to issue court ordered paternity tests or relationship tests. These paternity tests are done abiding by very strict procedures with all DNA samples verified and notarized.
Bobby Fischer died intestate. Jinky Jong has been excluded as his daughter; however, there are two further possible heirs. His wife, a Japanese woman by the name of Myoko Watay. Her claim is currently somewhat uncertain as there is no proof of their marriage which supposedly took place shortly before the death of the chess player. The other heir is his nephews.
Bobby Fischer is just one of many who have been involved in case requiring paternity test; the fact that it happened post-mortem is somewhat unusual and laways makes things more complicated.

The new twist to the Eastenders drama has got everyone gripped on the “who’s the daddy?” issue. And a DNA paternity test has come solve the problem. The unknown daddy dilemma and paternity disputes are a hugely current concern with many people in today’s society.
The fact that the demand for paternity tests is so high does not of course signify that there any more infidelity then in days gone by, but rather that people are more open to questioning fatherhood and challenge paternity doubts. The 25-year running British drama, Eastenders, shows a very common scenario; baby Richard and two alleged fathers- Ricky and Jack- and the momentous question: Which one of these two men fathered the child?
The paternity test showed in the series is the typical test used today. Ricky and Jack simply use oral mouth swabs to collect their DNA. They rub the swabs in the inside of their mouth to collect exfoliated cheek cells and saliva and send these off for laboratory analysis.
The Advantages of a Paternity Test with Mouth Swabs?
There are many advantages about doing a paternity test in this way; so much so that it has become the standard way of doing a test nowadays.
• Collecting DNA with mouth swabs is absolutely painless
• It is incredibly simple and people can do this from the ease and comfort of their home
• The laboratory success rate in terms of the chances of successfully extracting DNA is of 95%
Showing how a paternity test is carried out in such a popular TV series has created awareness about this test and how easy it is to carry out. Paternity testing is an accurate and reliable way of ascertaining the paternity of a child.
The DNA Paternity Test Kit
Posted on | August 18, 2010 | 1 Comment
Central to the paternity test is the DNA paternity test kit. Paternity DNA testing is the definitive means of establishing whether an alleged father is the biological father of a child or not. DNA analysis relies on very advanced scientific methodology though of course, different laboratories adopt different standards. .
What is the DNA paternity test kit?
The DNA paternity test kit basically provided you with all you need to collect your DNA samples. Inside the kit you will find:
• Buccal swabs: buccal swabs are cotton ended applicators which just a single end for swabbing. These are contained in their own envelope within the kit.
• Consent forms: you will need to fill in names, surnames, addresses and some other information in your consent form. Very person who has given a DNA sample for the test must sign for that sample on the consent form. Due to the Human Tissue Act, you will not be able to take DNA samples from anyone without their consent.
You will also have a set of instruction on how to collect your samples with the home DNA testing kit.
Why use Saliva?
The answer to this question is simple- saliva is so easy to sample and moreover, painless. The rate of success with saliva is extremely high- in fact around 95% so unless getting hold of this sample is not an option, this is by far the best sample to go for.
The DNA paternity test kit is normally pre-packed with swabs for the mother, father and child. If more people are taking part in the test, it is no problem, further swabs can be added and your kit, including consent forms can be altered so as to accommodate all the people involved in testing.
Paternity test kits can be delivered anywhere in the world and it is also possible to carry out cross border paternity testing- imagine, you want to do a paternity test but the alleged father lives in one country and the child in another- well in such cases, two kits can be sent out to both test participants; once the samples are returned from both parties concerned in the testing, the laboratory analysis can begin.
Once you have collected the samples, it is usually best to send it back by courier or registered post to avoid it getting lost, especially if it is from a country with an unreliable postal service. The DNA paternity test kit is extremely easy to use and should you encounter any problems the company you choose should be very willing to help you.
UK Paternity Testing
Posted on | August 12, 2010 | No Comments
The market for UK paternity testing has grown hugely with many companies now competing and offering very accurate tests done in accredited laboratories at competitive prices. This means that the selection criteria becomes more and more difficult as more paternity testing companies are stepping up on their standards to survive in this market.
There are many other selection criteria, besides the standard accreditations such as ISO 17025. First of all companies are now competing on pricing- they are trying to maximize the value of their clients money in many ways. Providing the best quality at the best price for a UK DNA paternity test is not simple and it depends on their laboratories processing capacities and the willingness of management to find means of balancing the financial needs of the business, making the best out of available resources and developing a sound judgment of what good value is.
Stepping up on customer care is really on the front burner of priorities. As a client, you will consider how long the company takes to contact you, how well and willing they are to explain your paternity test as many times as it takes or perhaps guide you in your choice regarding some other test you may need, perhaps a UK immigration test. The efficiency of correspondence between you, how they deal with small misunderstandings- perhaps by discounting your paternity test or giving you a free paternity test kit.
You should definitely consider the turnaround time for your paternity results and the paternity test kit- will it be simple to use? What exactly is provided in it?
When considering the issue of quality of a paternity test you may also wish to consider effectiveness and whether the company supplying the test has followed you up after you bought your test in cases where you required it- for example, emailing them to explain your results.
Gut instinct will of course also inevitably come into it but something more concrete as mentioned here will be of greater help. With the many companies offering UK paternity tests, these are just some of the issues you may wish to consider.

Black Parents have white baby but Father refuses paternity test
Posted on | July 27, 2010 | No Comments
Imagine the scene – you are a black father and your black wife is expecting your baby. She goes into labour and you anxiously wait to see your beautiful child brought into the light of this world; you can’t wait to hear that cry of a new born. The baby is born, but to your utter shock- the baby is white. Normally rage would ensure and many fathers would be absolutely sure the child was not theirs- their reaction would be to seek a paternity test. However, when this happened to Ethelbert Ofor he refused a paternity test- not because he was sure the white baby couldn’t be his but because he was sure it was.
The child in question was not only white in skin colour but was also fair with blue eyes. Ofor’s child is not the first such case. In fact, earlier this year, a black couple, Ben and Angela Ihegboro gave birth to a white baby that they named Nmcachi- this despite the fact that they didn’t have a shred of white ancestry. Nmcachi is to undergo a range of genetic tests to understand how this phenomenon occurs. The chances of such babies being born from black parents are minute and scientists still do not understand how it happens.
For white children with black parents it must be more than awkward to look at their black siblings and figure this genetic conundrum. Moreover, the opposite has also happened where white parents give birth to a black child. In any of the cases mentioned, many would suspect infidelity. Another alternative possibility would have been that the child was actually an albino- albinoism happens when people lack pigments in the skin and eyes which give them colour; typically they would have red eyes and very pale, white skin. Doctors excluded this too.
However, in the two cases described both couples knew the tricks genes can play and moreover, had full trust in their wives so that the possibility of cheating never crossed their mind- hence, both fathers refused to have a paternity test.
Scientists still have a lot of research to do regarding this phenomenon but our ancestral migration patterns definitely play a role. In some countries, a black woman giving birth to a white child would be unquestionably taken as a sign of infidelity and the woman would even perhaps be stoned to death for adultery.
Paternity testing is accurate and reliable. It can confirm with conclusiveness whether a putative father is the true biological father of a child and has today become the only recognized, scientific means of ascertaining paternity.
