You read the test by comparing the father and son's genetic markers. A child takes 50 percent DNA from each parent. So a marker may show the child with 12, 13 and the father with 15,13. This means the child would have taken the 13 from his father and 12 from his mother. If the the father is 16, 18 and the child is 12,13 than that is not a match. There are up to 16 markers and I if more than 1 does not match (due to genetic mutation) than it is safe to say that person is not the father. The Paternity Index (PI) shows the likelyhood of the parent passing the gene to the child.

The test rules out 100% who is not the father but cannot be 100% who is the father since the entire population cannot be tested. The Combined Paternity Index (CPI) shows the strong relationship to the parent. For example a CPI of 200 shows a relationship which means only 1 out of every 200 could share some DNA. A CPI of 11,000,131 is much greater and shows a strong relationship since 1 of every 11 million people share some DNA.

The test summary will read the person cannot be excluded or included as the father. If the father cannot be excluded he is to be he father, if the person cannot be included he is not the father.
