An Aunt-Uncle DNA test is also known as an avuncular DNA test assesses whether an individual is the aunt or uncle of another person. This type of case is often used when the alleged parent of the person is deceased and/or unwilling to participate in testing and a brother or sister of the alleged parent is still alive and available for testing. The test will therefore analyse and compare the DNA of the alleged aunt or uncle to that of their niece or nephew. If a relationship is confirmed then indirectly it can be deducted that the child is the biological child of their sibling. As with all our DNA relationship tests, we strongly recommend that the sample of the Mother is included in the testing to strengthen the results of the test. This will help the results but is not necessary to perform the test. In addition, if an uncle is available and the child is male, then we recommend performing a Y-Chromosome DNA test to confirm their relationship through the male lineage. Avuncular testing starts from as little as $495 for a two person analysis (aunt or uncle and once child). The results will be sent via email within 5-7 working days from the receipt of samples at the laboratory. Request our express service for faster results.
