(a) Subject to a challenge under subsection (b) of this section, a person is identified under sections 46b-495 to 46b-505, inclusive, as a genetic parent of a child if genetic testing complies with said sections and the results of the testing disclose: (1) The person has not less than a ninety-nine per cent probability of parentage, using a prior probability of 0.50, as calculated by using the combined relationship index obtained in the testing; and (2) a combined relationship index of not less than one hundred to one.
