A friend had a DNA paternity test done on a child in which the results came 
back 93% that he could be the father.  There was one part of the dna that did 
not match.  He was told that you needed only 2 that didn't match to be 
excluded from being the father.  My question is that if the mother of the 
child slept with his younger brother could it be possible that the child could 
belong to his brother with the % being that close?
