DNA Grandparent Test.

This genetic test helps establish whether or not a child is related to their grandparents on the alleged father’s parents’ side. It can also determine the maternity side, but that must be specified before booking the test. DNA Grandparent Test is an accurate and reliable method to establish a biological relationship between a grandparent and a grandchild. This testing is beneficial to prove paternity when the alleged father is unavailable for testing. Grandparents can undergo this simple and quick test using buccal swabs (mouth swabs) along with the alleged grandchild in the privacy of their homes.

How Does this Test Work?

Unlike a straightforward paternity test, this test involves assembling a puzzle. The more participants contribute their DNA; the more pieces are assembled, resulting in a complete and accurate picture.

Who Needs to Provide DNA?

DNA samples are required from the following individuals:

• One or both parents of the alleged father to establish a Paternal relationship or of the Mother to establish a maternal relationship.
• The child.
• The Mother of the child, if possible.

The DNA is extracted from the cells in the mouth swabs and then analysed using PCR (polymerase chain reaction). In this specific region, the DNA is amplified. The DNA patterns of the grandparent(s) are then compared with the DNA pattern of the grandchild. The statistical analysis provides a “grandparentage index” based on this comparison.

Accuracy of the Test

The test is most accurate when both of the alleged father’s parents are available for testing. If one grandparent is absent, the test can still be conducted, but the results may not be as definitive in establishing paternity and/or maternity and may only give a degree of relativeness. It is highly recommended that the child’s mother also participates in the test to increase the likelihood of obtaining conclusive results.

DNA Collection Process for DNA Grandparent Test

Collecting DNA samples for this test is a quick and painless process using simple cheek swabs.

Interpreting Results for DNA Grandparent Test

A grandparentage index value greater than 1.0 in the Test Report indicates that the grandparent/grandchild pair are biologically related. A value less than 1.0 indicates that the two individuals are not biologically related. The higher the grandparentage index value over 1.0, the more likely the grandparent/grandchild pair are biologically related.

Private Home DNA Vs Legal DNA Grandparent Test:

A Private Home DNA Grandparent Test is suitable for those individuals who wish to discover the truth before deciding on the next step. The results of this test are conclusive but not legally admissible. On the other hand, the Legal DNA Grandparent Test is intended for legal use. It is accepted as legal proof when the test is conducted under strict protocols and follows the proper legalization of the documents, per each country and its specific legalization requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How long does it take to get the results of a Grandparent Test?

• Our laboratory typically provides results within 7 to 10 business days after receiving the samples.

Q2: Is the accuracy of a Private Home DNA  Test the same as that of a Chain of Custody DNA Test?

• Both tests provide conclusive results, but the only difference is in the sample collection process. The Chain of Custody DNA Grandparent Test is performed and witnessed by an unbiased individual and follows a chain of custody protocol, while the Private Home DNA Test is self-administered.

Q3: Can the DNA Grandparent Testing Kit be shipped to multiple addresses?

• We can ship the kit to different addresses if tested individuals reside in different cities or countries. However, an additional shipping charge will apply for each additional location to be shipped.
