Annual Report Summary for Testing in 2010

The annual survey provides information on the state of the relationship testing community and tries to ask questions that may be of interest and track trends in testing. As a reminder evaluation of these data is anonymous. None of the members of the Relationship Testing Standards Program Unit is aware of which laboratories submitted data. Presentation of the most current data occurs every year at the AABB annual meeting. Many of the laboratories report testing a broad range of cases, including relationship tests for routine paternity testing, immigration, prenatal evaluations, and post-mortem evaluations. Almost all of the laboratories reporting performed immigration testing, reconstruction (family study) cases.
