There are no age restrictions because DNA makeup is set at conception. Testing is possible even before birth, and newborns can be tested safely at delivery using umbilical cord blood. Samples can be taken from persons of any age, even post-mortem. Our combined technologies are so powerful that the genetic patterns of a deceased father can be reconstructed from grandparents, siblings or other children.
