One in 10 'is mistaken about identity of father'

In March Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, called for genetic tests for common cancers and heart disease to be rolled out.


However, the tests have been criticised for causing stress, confusion and even fostering a kind of fatalism that would make people stop taking care of themselves.


Cumming said that while genetics offered new hope for preventing disease, there were difficult ethical challenges that needed addressing.


Prof Mark Bellis, an author of the original 2005 study into non-paternity, said: “Despite genomics creeping into many aspects of health treatments and prevention, we seem to be choosing to ignore what it reveals about infidelity and paternity. There are still very few reliable figures on paternal discrepancy and consequently inadequate thought given to how to deal with it.”
