The Aunt / Uncle DNA Test will determine if a man / woman is the biological aunt / uncle of a child, who shares a quarter of their DNA with the Aunt or Uncle. Order this test if one of the parents is unavailable for testing.
Because this is an AccuPlex41 DNA Test, no additional family members are required. Adding the mother, however, will strengthen the results.
| Participants | This test requires an Aunt / Uncle (typically the brother or sister of the father) and Child. Including the mother is optional, but recommended. |

| Payment | We accept Paypal and all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express). For discrete payments, we suggest purchasing a pre-paid credit card available at most retailers. |
| Results | Because Aunts & Uncles don't necessarily share a DNA type in common at each genetic location, the best possible result from an Aunt / Uncle DNA Test is how likely the two individuals are to be related versus unrelated. If the questionable parent is still alive and a sample can be obtained, it is strongly recommended that a sample be collected from them for paternity/maternity comparison to the child. |
