What Is Grandparent DNA Testing and Why Is It Important?
Grandparent DNA testing evaluates the likelihood of a biological relationship between a child and their alleged grandparents. It’s essential for Connecticut families needing to establish paternity or other family connections when the alleged parent is unavailable for testing.
How Does Grandparent DNA Testing Work?
We collect painless, non-invasive cheek swabs from the child and one or both grandparents. Samples are analyzed in an AABB-accredited laboratory for a statistical probability of kinship. For maximum accuracy, testing both grandparents and including the mother’s DNA is recommended.

Grandparent DNA Testing: Frequently Asked Questions (Connecticut)
Who Needs to Be Tested in a Grandparent DNA Test?
Typically, the child and one or both grandparents are tested. Including the mother’s DNA sample can substantially increase accuracy, but is not mandatory. In legal cases, the Connecticut courts may order the mother, child, and alleged parent(s) to take genetic tests. Learn more from the Connecticut Department of Social Services – Child Support DNA Information and the Connecticut Parentage Act – Genetic Testing Statute.
How Accurate Is a Grandparent DNA Test?
Legal grandparent DNA tests in Connecticut are performed by AABB-accredited labs and are admissible in court when they show 99% or greater probability, creating a rebuttable presumption of parentage (per CGS §46b-168, Chapter 818 Parentage Act). Learn more about genetic testing for paternity at the DSS Child Support Genetic Testing brochure.
Can a Grandparent Request a Paternity Test?
Yes. Grandparents can request a DNA test through the court if needed for establishing legal relationships—especially if the alleged parent is unavailable. Requests and procedures are coordinated through the Connecticut Family Court System and DSS Child Support Services.
How Long Does It Take to Receive the Test Results?
Results are typically available within 5 business days after samples reach the lab. Expedited options may be available for faster turnaround times.
Can a Grandparent Do a DNA Test on a Grandchild Without the Parent’s Consent?
In legal cases, parental or guardian consent is required by Connecticut law to test minors for court use. At-home tests do not require formal consent, but are not valid for legal matters. Reference: CGS Chapter 815y – Paternity Law and SSA Connecticut Legal DNA Guidance.
How Much Does a Legal Grandparent DNA Test Cost in Connecticut?
Legal grandparent tests in Connecticut typically cost between $400 and $499, depending on additional services like expedited results.
Can Grandparents Use DNA Testing for Immigration Cases?
Yes! Many immigration cases require proof of familial relationships through grandparent testing when direct parentage testing isn’t possible. Our AABB-accredited labs meet all USCIS requirements.
What Happens If My Grandparent DNA Test Results Are Inconclusive?
If not enough genetic markers are matched, the court or lab may request additional relatives (both grandparents or the mother) to be tested. Learn about genetic test procedures in Connecticut Parentage Laws.
