Grandparent DNA Testing: Frequently Asked Questions (Massachusetts)
Who Needs to Be Tested in a Grandparent DNA Test?
For the best accuracy, the child and both grandparents should participate. Including the mother’s sample can help but is not strictly required. Learn about the Massachusetts process for genetic marker testing.
How Accurate Is a Grandparent DNA Test?
Court-admissible DNA tests from accredited labs are highly accurate, generally providing >99% probability when grandparents (and ideally, the mother) are included. See Massachusetts law about DNA evidence and AABB testing standards.
Can a Grandparent Request a Paternity Test?
Yes, grandparents and certain family members can request a legal genetic test under Massachusetts law to resolve matters of parentage, inheritance, child custody, or support. Procedures are defined by Massachusetts Law about Parentage and General Laws c.209C § 5.
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?
Massachusetts law requires that a legal guardian or parent give consent for DNA testing of minors if the test will be used in court. At-home tests do not require this, but results are not court-admissible. More: Are Home DNA Tests Legal in Massachusetts? and General Laws c.209C § 11.
How Much Does a Legal Grandparent DNA Test Cost in Massachusetts?
Legal grandparent tests in Massachusetts typically cost between $449 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?
In rare cases, more participants (both grandparents, mother, or additional relatives) may be needed for a conclusive result. Find more guidance in Massachusetts’ “Learn about genetic marker testing”.
