What you get with this test

Detailed Description

The Aunt/Uncle DNA Test is perfect for situations where the alleged parent(s) are unavailable for testing. By testing the missing parent’s siblings against the child, this kit helps determine the likelihood of a biological relationship between a potential aunt or uncle and a niece or nephew. The easy-to-use home kit allows you to collect a mouth swab discreetly and conveniently in the privacy of your own home, then send it to our lab for analysis. Your results will be available for download from your secure online account within 1-2 business days after the lab receives your sample.

If the parent(s) in question are available for testing, we recommend opting for either the DNA Paternity Test or DNA Maternity Test instead of the DNA Aunt/Uncle Test.

Technical Information

In a DNA Aunt/Uncle Test, a buccal (mouth) swab sample is collected from both the child and the potential aunt or uncle. These samples contain cells, each of which holds a complete set of genetic information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), a unique “genetic blueprint” much like a fingerprint.

In the lab, DNA is extracted from the cells, and specific regions are amplified using a process called PCR (polymerase chain reaction). The test analyzes 16 to 27 specific regions known as short tandem repeats (STRs). These STRs are highly variable DNA sequences repeated multiple times throughout the genome, making them a reliable tool for confirming or refuting biological relationships.

Precise Analysis

Our Extended Panel system examines up to 27 markers, setting the standard for the highest precision in the industry.

2x Testing Guarantee

Each DNA test we perform is independently conducted twice, ensuring 100% accuracy in every result.

FAQ's

Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about this test.

Yes, your results are 100% confidential. No one will be able to access your account or your results unless you give them your confidential account login. You can change the password to your account at any time. Please remember to safeguard your login information and not share it with anyone.
Testing begins immediately the day that your samples arrive at the laboratory. In some special situations, additional testing may be required, which could increase the turnaround time by a few extra days. You can check the status of your test online 24/7 using your secure account login. Your test report is released immediately once testing is complete.
Drinking or eating will not change the results in any way. The reason that you are not supposed to drink or have anything in the mouth for an extended period prior to collection is to ensure that we have enough buccal cells to complete the test. If there are not enough cells to complete the test, then the results will not be released and a recollection will be required.
No. You can send the kits back to the laboratory using any shipping method of your choosing. Please be advised that if you do not use the included prepaid return mailer to ship your samples, it is your responsibility to ensure that your samples arrive at the laboratory. We will not be able to provide assistance for shipments that do not use our prepaid return mailer.
