Home DNA Aunt/Uncle Test

$200.00

The DNA Aunt/Uncle Test is used to investigate the likelihood that an individual is the biological aunt or uncle of a niece or nephew. This test is best used when the alleged father is unavailable for testing. The test can be performed on individuals of any age, from infants to adults, and provides a comprehensive genetic report with every test.

ABOUT THIS TEST:

In the event that an alleged father or alleged mother is not available for testing, the missing parent’s siblings can be tested against the child using the DNA Aunt or Uncle test to determine the likelihood of biological relationship. Whenever 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, in situations where the alleged parents are missing or deceased, then the Aunt or Uncle can be tested to investigate the likelihood that they are the true biological aunt or uncle of a child in questions. The full genetic report is included with every test.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

During a DNA aunt/uncle test, a buccal swab (mouth swab) specimen is collected from the aunt or uncle and the nephew or niece in question. The sample contains cells that contain genetic information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Each person’s DNA represents a unique “genetic blueprint,” similar to a fingerprint. In the laboratory, the DNA is extracted from the cells and specific regions of the DNA are amplified using a process called PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for careful examination. The DNA pattern of the aunt or uncle is compared to the DNA pattern of the nephew or niece. A statistical analysis is performed based on the match type typically expected for true aunt/uncle and nephew/niece pairs, and a “kinship index” is obtained. The kinship index is a numerical value that reflects the likelihood of a biological relationship between the aunt/uncle and nephew/niece. True biologically related aunt/uncle and nephew/niece pairs are typically expected to have a kinship index value that is greater than 1.0 in their DNA aunt/uncle test report. Conversely, individuals who are not biologically related are expected to have a kinship index value that is less than 1.0.
