All DNA samples are tested and analyzed by our partner AABB-accredited laboratory. This accreditation is required for DNA results to be accepted by state and government agencies.
Legal sibling DNA testing produces results that courts and government agencies accept as proof of a biological relationship. Individuals use these tests for legal purposes such as family court cases or to establish eligibility for Social Security benefits when an alleged father cannot be tested. Collection for a legal test follows strict chain-of-custody procedures, and a neutral third party collects the DNA samples.
Non-legal sibling DNA testing, sometimes called a home sibling DNA test, provides information for personal knowledge only. Individuals collect their own DNA samples at home and submit them to a laboratory. Results from non-legal tests do not meet legal standards and cannot be used in court or for government applications.
We all inherit half of our DNA from our mother and half from our father. When DNA samples are collected from both of the alleged father’s parents (the paternal grandparents), a grandparentage test can be performed to determine whether a biological relationship exists.
A child typically inherits approximately 25% of their DNA from each grandparent and 50% from each biological parent. This test analyzes up to 22 genetic markers to provide accurate and reliable results.
