What you get with this test

Detailed Description

This at-home DNA Grandmother Test kit is perfect for assessing the likelihood of a biological relationship between a grandmother and grandchild when the parents cannot be tested directly. The easy-to-use kit allows you to collect a mouth swab discreetly in the comfort of your home and send it to our lab for analysis. Results will be available for download from your secure online account within 1-2 business days after the lab receives your sample.

The test can be taken by the grandmother to determine if a genetic relationship exists with the grandchild. If the parents are available for testing, we recommend using the DNA Paternity Test or DNA Maternity Test instead of the grandmother test.

Technical Information

In a DNA Grandmother Test, a buccal (mouth) swab sample is collected from both the child and the potential grandmother. These samples contain cells, which hold DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)—a unique genetic blueprint similar to a fingerprint.

In the laboratory, DNA is extracted from the cells and specific regions are amplified using a process called PCR (polymerase chain reaction). Our test examines 16 to 27 of these regions, known as short tandem repeats (STRs). STRs are areas of DNA where a short sequence is repeated multiple times, and they vary greatly among individuals. Analyzing these STRs provides a precise method for confirming or disproving 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.
