When a direct parent-child DNA test cannot be performed because the alleged father or mother is unavailable, an at-home grandparent DNA test may provide valuable peace of mind. This testing option helps determine whether a grandparent and grandchild are biologically related. DNA Testing Newark (DTN) provides fast, accurate, and reliable at-home grandparent DNA testing for families seeking answers about their biological relationship.
Don't have access to cheek swab samples? These forensic DNA testing options may be appropriate when a standard at-home DNA test cannot be performed.

Yes. At-Home Sibling Testing is highly accurate because the laboratory compares specific genetic markers inherited from biological parents. When DNA samples are properly collected, stored, and submitted according to the test kit instructions, the laboratory can perform a reliable genetic comparison between the tested individuals.
Our partner laboratory typically analyzes up to 22 genetic markers during the paternity testing process to determine the probability of a biological relationship. In paternity inclusion cases, the probability of paternity is commonly reported as 99.99% or higher.
Yes. Your DNA test results are kept confidential. Results are released only to the individuals directly involved with your grandparent DNA test. DNA results may be released by court order from or a judge but not before you are notified.
The difference between an at-home grandparent DNA test and a legal grandparent DNA test is the intended use of the DNA results. An at-home grandparent DNA test is a peace-of-mind test and is intended for informational purposes only. The results cannot be used for legal matters.
A legal grandparent DNA test requires a documented chain of custody. DNA samples must be collected by an impartial third-party DNA sample collector and analyzed by our partner AABB-accredited laboratory. This collection process helps ensure the results are legally admissible for court proceedings and other legal purposes.
