Grandparent DNA Test

Description

One of the main reasons why this type of  DNA test is performed is when a child’s alleged father is unavailable for paternity testing and the child’s grandparents want to know whether the child is truly related to them.

A DNA profile is produced for each individual taking part in this test. A child inherits half of his/her genetic profile from each biological parent, when one or more of a child’s parents is unavailable for testing, we can look to the grandparents to determine if they contributed DNA to the child’s genetic profile.

This type of  test is not as conclusive as paternity or maternity analysis and should only be used when it is not possible to perform these other types of testing.

This test is for peace of mind – If you require a test for Legal proceedings you will need a Legal DNA test – Please see our Legal DNA Test section.
