DNA results
Ancestry test output
DNA results are the findings from genetic testing, typically referring to ancestry composition or paternity determinations from consumer testing services: My DNA results say I'm 40% Irish.
The phrase also covers medical genetic screening and forensic identification.
In legal contexts, DNA results can establish parentage or link suspects to crime scenes.
