Can DNA Paternity Testing ever be wrong?

How can I find out and what would the chances be? Has anyone ever had this happen or heard of it?

Answers:

1Yes, it can be wrong. The test can be misread. An individual can have a "mosaic" in their chromosomes (where some cells have different chromosomes than others). And a technician could put the wrong name on the test results.

None of these are *likely*, but they can happen.
