Description
About the Test

In cases where an alleged father or mother is not available for testing, the DNA Aunt or Uncle test can be utilized to determine the likelihood of a biological relationship. When the parent(s) in question are available for testing, the DNA paternity or maternity test is always recommended over the DNA Aunt/Uncle test. However, when the alleged parents are missing or deceased, the Aunt or Uncle can be tested to investigate the likelihood of a biological relationship. The test is conducted in our internationally-recognized, AABB, ISO17025, and CLIA accredited lab, ensuring the highest standards of quality and accuracy. A comprehensive genetic report is included with every test.

Benefits
Technical Info

In a DNA aunt/uncle test, a buccal swab (mouth swab) is collected from the aunt or uncle and the nephew or niece. The sample contains cells with unique DNA. In the lab, the DNA is extracted, amplified using PCR (polymerase chain reaction), and examined. The DNA pattern of the aunt or uncle is compared to the nephew or niece. A statistical analysis is performed to obtain a “kinship index” that reflects the likelihood of a biological relationship.
