»  Can a DNA paternity test tell me if my child has inherited a genetic desease or disorder?  (Back)

No. Paternity testing (identity testing) and the testing available for specific disorders are completely different. Although both types of testing are DNA based, they are very different assays. If you suspect your child may be affected by a genetic disease or disorder, a consultation with a genetic counselor in your area would be an important first step.
