A member asked:
Will chemo effect the paternity test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No. While long term chemotherapy can cause dna mutations (and increase risk of second primary malignancies), in general it doesn't change large sections of dna. So, any constitutive dna test should be relatively stable throughout life.
