Paternal discrepancy (PD) occurs when a child is identified as being biologically fathered by someone other than the man who believes he is the father. Rates vary between studies from 0.8% to 30% (jech.bmj.com)

Underscores the need for men to double check with paternity tests regardless of their love for their women.

Countries like France have actually made this illegal. JFL

Send it out commercially. It was in the conclusions that that kits are available and hard to stop even with these laws in place.

The title of the submission obscures the fact that the median of the least biased studies is only 3.7%. The one with 30% has poor test sensitivity. The other ones around 10% were black and Mexican samples. So unless things have changed a lot more recently (after 1999), the PD rate is likely low.

A 4% PD would affect far more than 1 in 25 families. Given an average of two children per family, more families will be affected within just a single generation; although it is probable that PD will cluster in some family groups

You think it's low but surprisingly wide reaching consequences as this study is about how it affects the whole relationship group's health. PD destabilizes a whole family unit not just the main actors.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
