DNA Relationship Testing
DNA Relationship Testing can be used to assess if two or more people share a biological relation. In situations where the alleged parents are unavailable for testing, a DNA siblingship test can be performed to analyse the relationship of biological siblings through direct comparison with their alleged relatives.

Relationship Testing is slightly more complex than paternity testing and can be used to determine various types of relationships in different situations.

Depending on the people available for testing, there are several different testing methodologies that can be used according to the alleged relationships. An explanation of the various DNA testing methodologies is provided below.

 

 

DNA relationship testing is available worldwide through our DNA Sample Collection Kit. The kit is provided free of charge. Your payment should be included with your samples when they are submitted to us.

 

 

DNA Paternity Testing

 

 

 


 

Maternity Testing

Test: Mother and child
Determines if a woman is the biological mother of a child.

 


 

Siblingship Testing (brother or sister)

Test: Two alleged siblings
Determines the statistical probability of whether siblings (brothers and sisters) share the same two parents or not.

 


 

Y-STR Male Lineage Test

Test: Two males potentially related through paternal lineage
The Y-STR male lineage test is used to determine whether two or more males are related through their paternal lineage.

 


 

Twin Zygosity Test

Test: two alleged twins
Establishes whether fraternal or identical twins, or siblings. Paternity and/or maternity can also be verified.

 


 

Missing Parent Test

Test: Child and both alleged maternal or paternal grandparents.
In cases where the mother or father is missing or deceased, this DNA test determines maternity or paternity by using the DNA from the Maternal or Paternal Grandparents.

 


 

Avuncular Test (grandparent/aunt/uncle)

Test: Child and alleged grandparent/aunt/uncle
Can be used to assess the biological relationship from the paternal side of the family, even when DNA from the alleged father is unavailable.
