This is a peace-of-mind test — the science is identical to a legal DNA test, but the procedural overhead is lighter. Samples can be collected in our office or, in some cases, at home. Results are for personal knowledge and are not admissible in court.
A cheek swab is painless, takes about a minute per participant, and produces a sample with millions of cells the lab can analyze. No blood draw is required for the great majority of DNA tests.

- Answering a paternity-related question when the alleged father is unavailable

FAQ
Aunt / Uncle (Avuncular) DNA Test — what people ask
Specific questions about the aunt / uncle (avuncular) dna test. For anything not covered, call 571-500-7030.
How accurate is an aunt or uncle (avuncular) DNA test?
An avuncular test reports a probability of relationship — an "avuncular index" — rather than the fixed 99.9% you might see in a direct paternity test, because aunts and uncles share roughly a quarter of their DNA with a niece or nephew. Including the known biological mother strengthens the result and often makes it conclusive. It indicates the likelihood of a biological link; it does not deliver an automatic 99.9% answer.
Can I use this test in court later if I need to?
No — peace-of-mind tests are not admissible because the chain-of-custody is informal. If a legal version may be needed, choose the legal paternity test from the start. The lab science is the same; only the documentation differs.
How accurate is DNA testing?
When the alleged father is the biological father, modern STR-based DNA tests typically produce a probability of paternity of 99.9% or higher. When he is not, the result is a definitive exclusion.
Can the test be done if one party is missing?
Yes. Grandparent, sibling, and avuncular tests can establish biological relationships when a direct parent is unavailable. They are slightly less definitive but often conclusive.
