Paternity Test
What Is Paternity Testing?
Comparison of a child to an ALLEGED FATHER to determine the probability of biological relationships.
The mother’s sample is not required but strongly recommended and improves statistical results.
Test includes: 1 Father, 1 Mother, and 1 Child sample.
Maternity Test
What Is Maternity Testing?
Comparison of a child to an ALLEGED MOTHER to determine the probability of biological relationships.
Test includes: 1 Mother, and upto 2 Children samples.
Sibling DNA Test
What Is Siblingship Testing?
Siblingship testing is used when the sample for the alleged father or mother cannot be obtained. The testing is performed between alleged siblings to determine biological relationship.
Siblingship testing compares two types of sibling relationships.
Full vs Half – The siblings being compared share the same mother but are unsure if they share the same father.
Half vs Unrelated – The siblings being compared know they have different mothers but believe they might share the same father.
Testing can be performed between the siblings only, although we recommend providing a mother’s sample with the siblings to improve the statistics and limit the chance of obtaining inconclusive results.
Test includes: 2 Siblings, and 1 Mother/Father sample.
Grandparent DNA Test
What Is Grandparentage Testing?
The child is compared to the ALLEGED FATHER’S Mother or Father (child’s grandparents).
Grand-Parentage testing is used when the sample for the alleged father cannot be obtained. The child is then compared to the alleged father’s parents (the child’s paternal grandmother and/or grandfather).
Testing can be performed between the child and one grandparent, although we recommend providing samples from both the grandmother and the grandfather if available. If only one grandparent is available for testing, we would then advise providing a sample from the available grandparent and the child’s mother to improve the statistics and limit the chance of obtaining inconclusive results.
Test includes: 2 Grandparents, and 1 Child sample.
Aunt-Uncle DNA Test
What is Avuncular Testing?
The child is compared to the ALLEGED FATHER’S siblings (the child’s aunt/uncle).
Avuncular testing is used when the sample for the alleged father cannot be obtained. The child is then compared to the alleged father’s siblings (the child’s alleged aunt or uncle). Testing can be performed between just the child and one of aunts/uncles, although we recommend providing a sample for the mother to improve the statistics and limit the chance of obtaining inconclusive results.
Test includes: 1 Aunt/Uncle, 1 Child, and 1 Mother sample (if no mother testing, sample can be used for another Aunt/Uncle or child).
Personal Profile
What Is Personal Profile Testing?
A Personal Profile is your own unique DNA profile composed of 23 markers. DNA Solutions stores this profile in their own database, allowing you the opportunity use this profile later for relationship or identification comparisons. DNA Profiles can also be a personalized gift to provide to family members.
Test includes: 1 sample.
