Frequently Asked Questions
-
A single grandparentage DNA test compares DNA from one child and one alleged paternal grandparent to evaluate whether their genetic profiles are consistent with a biological grandparent-grandchild relationship.
It is an indirect relationship test that may be useful when the alleged father is unavailable for direct paternity testing.
-
This at-home test requires two participants:
One child
One alleged paternal grandparent, either the alleged paternal grandfather or alleged paternal grandmother
Each person provides a simple cheek-swab sample. No blood draw is required.
-
A single grandparentage test can provide useful relationship information, but it is an indirect test. A direct alleged father–child paternity test is usually preferred when the alleged father is available because it compares the alleged father’s DNA directly with the child’s DNA.
If both alleged paternal grandparents are available, a full grandparentage test may provide the laboratory with more family DNA information than a single-grandparent test.
-
No. This product is a self-collected, non-legal DNA test for personal knowledge only. It does not include the professional identity verification, witnessed collection, or documented chain of custody required for immigration, court, child support, custody, adoption, inheritance, birth-certificate changes, or other official matters.
If you need legally admissible results, contact GameDay DNA before collecting samples to schedule a legal DNA test.
-
No. This at-home test uses a cheek-swab sample from the child and a cheek-swab sample from the alleged grandparent. A cheek swab collects cells from inside the mouth.
No blood draw, needles, clinic visit, or doctor’s appointment is required.
-
Yes. A parent or legal guardian can collect a child’s cheek-swab sample at home using the kit instructions. The collection method is non-invasive.
Wash hands before collection, avoid touching the swab tip, and ensure the child’s sample is correctly labeled before returning it to the laboratory.
-
Results are typically available within 5 business days after the laboratory receives all required, acceptable samples.
The total timeline also includes kit shipment, at-home collection, return shipping, laboratory intake, sample-quality review, and any recollection that may be needed.
-
Results are sent securely by email or made available through the online results portal after the laboratory completes testing.
Use a private email address that you can access. Contact GameDay DNA if you need help accessing your report.
-
The laboratory may ask for a recollection if a sample is insufficient, contaminated, damaged, incorrectly labeled, or otherwise unsuitable for analysis. A recollection can extend the results timeline.
Contact GameDay DNA before sending a replacement sample so you receive the correct instructions and understand any applicable fees.
-
No. A self-collected at-home test generally cannot be converted into a legal test after samples are collected because legal testing requires identity verification, witnessed collection, and chain-of-custody documentation at the time of collection.
If there is any chance you may need the results for an official purpose, arrange legal testing before collecting samples.
-
Contact GameDay DNA before ordering. Explain which relatives are available to test and whether you need results for personal knowledge or for an official purpose. Our team can help you determine whether a direct paternity, full grandparentage, single grandparentage, sibling, avuncular, or legal relationship test is more appropriate.
