What is Avuncular DNA Testing?

Do you require confirmation of a biological relationship between a child and an aunt or uncle to determine paternity? In situations where the potential father is unavailable for paternity testing, one or more of his siblings can participate in the test. It's advisable for the child's mother to include her DNA as well, as it streamlines the analysis process and enhances result conclusiveness. Your results will be available in your secure online account just 5 business days after all samples reach the lab. The resulting report can serve as personal knowledge or be used in a legal context if you opt for legal testing.

Testing Options for Avuncular DNA Testing

There are two primary ways to conduct an avuncular test: legal and personal knowledge.

Legal Option: Legal test results can serve as legal proof of maternity and be submitted to immigration agencies or court proceedings. GameDay DNA arranges for DNA sample collection at a nearby location. A professional collector handles all identification and paperwork, sending the package to DDC for testing.

Personal Knowledge Option: If you only need avuncular DNA test results for personal peace of mind and not for legal purposes, you can use an at-home avuncular DNA test to collect your sample and send it to DDC for testing. Please note that these results are not suitable for court use.

Tip: If you anticipate needing court-admissible results in the future, we recommend starting with a legal test to avoid the need for testing twice.

More About the Avuncular DNA Test

 

  • Generally, participants in an avuncular DNA test are the child and either a brother or sister of the possible father in the case. Whenever possible, the mother of the child should also contribute her DNA to testing since her participation can definitely help to strengthen results.

  • We cannot test half-siblings of a possible father. It must be a full-sibling relationship in order to obtain the most conclusive results possible.

  • No; the participation of cousins isn’t helpful for avuncular DNA testing or any other type of relationship test, since the percentage of DNA they might share with the child in question is low. The participants in the test should be the child, the possible father’s sister or brother, and the mother of the child.

  • Understanding results for an avuncular DNA test is a little tricky, since there can never be a straight “yes or no” answer in relationship testing. Calculations for relationships such as a grandparent, avuncular (aunt/uncle), and siblings all involve statistics, and a probability of a relationship is given as a percentage in the report:

    1. 90% or higher: the relationship is supported by DNA testing

    2. 9% – 89%: inconclusive result, and additional parties need to be tested

    3. Below 9%: the relationship is not supported by DNA testing

    If a probability of relationship (PRI) of 92% is given for an avuncular test, the result could be understood as: “There is a 92% probability that the persons tested share an avuncular relationship.”
