Can a blood transfusion lead to discovering someone's father?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You need more information about paternity testing based on dna typing. Paternal testing is a form of dna testing. The paternity test looks for specific genetic markers that are similar between the father and the child, which denote that the two are closely related.
