The Ordering Process — Simple
These days we can do so many things from the comfort of our home, so why not a DNA test as well? Absolute DNA Services has streamlined the process for the Avuncular Test, so it’s as easy as:
- Choose your test and order it online.
- Pay for your test and any extras you require.
- You will get your home sample collection kit in the mail. The kit will contain everything you need to undertake the test from the comfort of your home.
- Receive your results in a quick timeframe (within 7-10 working days of receiving samples).
Important Note: Standard turnaround time for results can only be guaranteed for oral swabs. Clients wanting to provide discreet samples for DNA analysis should expect a longer turnaround time.
About Aunt & Uncle Testing
Avuncular tests are done instead of, but do not replace, a paternity test. Results reflect a statistical likelihood, but not the highly accurate results that would be achieved through a paternity test using the alleged father’s DNA.
More accurate results can be achieved by adding a DNA sample from the mother of the child, allowing our analysts to view a full range of DNA.
Results indicating a probability of greater than 80% will usually indicate a biological relationship, and results indicating a probability of less than 20% indicate that a biological relationship does not exist.
Male only DNA tests
If the participants providing samples are only male, a Y Chromosome Test is advised. This is the best way of confirming a paternal bloodline, as males from the same paternal line will have a copy of the same Y chromosome. If results indicate that two (or more) males share the same Y chromosome, then they will also share a paternal relative.
