MONDAY, April 17 (HealthDay News) -- Ninety-eight percent of men raising children they believe to be their biological offspring are right to think so, according to the largest review of paternity and genetic test data ever conducted. Even men who actively seek out paternity tests because they doubt their paternity turn out to be wrong most of the time, the study found.

"Only about 30 percent of those men aren't the father," said researcher Kermyt Anderson, an assistant professor in the department of anthropology at the University of Oklahoma.
