Sometimes the path to family clarity looks different when a direct parent is unavailable or cannot participate.
Grandparentage testing may help evaluate a biological relationship between a child and a grandparent. Avuncular testing may help evaluate a possible biological relationship with an aunt or uncle.
When a direct parent is unavailable, relationship testing may provide another way to evaluate a biological relationship. The appropriate test depends on the relatives available to participate and how the results will be used.
For personal peace-of-mind, testing may be arranged for informational purposes.
For legal DNA testing, additional requirements may apply, including identity verification, documentation, professional collection, and chain-of-custody procedures. Ask about legal requirements before choosing a test.
Mecca Medical & DNA Testing Solutions is a third-party administrator (TPA), not a laboratory. We coordinate relationship DNA testing with our AABB-accredited laboratory partner, which performs the testing and analysis.
