Aunt Uncle Avuncular DNA Testing $135

Avuncular DNA testing will determine the statistical probability of participants sharing a biological relationship as that of aunt-uncle and niece-nephew. Thus, an avuncular test can conclusively prove or disprove paternity.

It isn’t uncommon for test participants to live too far apart to get together and do an avuncular DNA collection.  We offer an option to have multiple collection kits shipped out for these situations. When you place your order, simply choose the option for an additional address. We send each collection kit for all addresses on your order within the contiguous USA with the same shipping method as the first.  Before leaving the lab, the collection kits are linked through reference number and bar codes.  When the samples are received back in lab, they are matched to your case through the bar code and reference numbers.

A Y-STR test is a good option to consider for two males that would like to determine whether or not they are related on the paternal side. For example an uncle and nephew who want to determine if the alleged uncle’s brother is the father of the nephew. The Y-STR test looks at the Y-Chromosome that is passed from male to male in any unbroken male lineage. In this case, the alleged father and uncle will share the same Y-chromosome inherited from their common father. Likewise, the nephew will also have the same Y-STR passed down to him by his father. Y-STR is very unique, similar to a fingerprint and virtually unchanged for several generations. When Y-STRs are compared, the result is accurate and consequently produces a “Yes” or “No” answer to the question of whether or not the two tested males related through the male lineage.

The purpose of most avuncular testing is to indirectly determine paternity. In contrast, if a relationship is trying to be established on the mother’s side, an X-SV test offers a conclusive answer regardless of gender. Additionally, other relationship tests may also help establish paternity or maternity, such as a Siblingship test, or a Grandparentage test with one or both of the alleged parent’s parents. Alternately, consider a family reconstruction test if more than one paternal relative can participate in a DNA test.

The avuncular DNA test process is very simple. DNA is collected with a cheek swab, which is also called a buccal, swab. Rub the swab against the inside of the cheek to collect skin cells from the inner cheek and gums.  We conduct all of our tests twice.  For that reason, we supply 4 buccal swabs per person in your collection kit. Take two swabs on each side of the mouth. It is best to rinse the mouth with water and refrain from smoking or drinking coffee or tea for 2-3 hours before the DNA collection. After collecting the DNA, place the samples in the prepaid return mailer.  Finally, simply drop the samples off at the courier’s location or drop box to send the lab.

When all avuncular samples are in the lab, you will be notified by email that testing has begun. The test results from your aunt-uncle DNA test will be e-mailed in 3-5 business days. If purchased, hard copy results are sent to the billing address unless otherwise noted.

We ship our collection kits with free UPS overnight delivery Monday through Friday to physical addresses in the contiguous USA. Orders received and processed by 12:00 PM EST are shipped the same business day. Orders received after that time ship the following business day.

Our avuncular DNA test package comes complete with testing kit, DNA analysis and test results. Some companies advertise that you can make your collection kit by using your own Q-tips®. However, we do not recommend this. Although doing so may save the company money, it may cause costly problems for you. There is a risk of multiple DNA samples being found on Q-tips® that are not sterile, or that may be handled by more than one person. Q-tips® you may have in your home could already have DNA from other sources on them. For this reason, we send your aunt/uncle DNA collection kit containing sterile buccal swabs to you at no charge. We ship the collection kit to you via FREE USPS rushed delivery so you have your sterile medical swabs as ready for use fast.

If the embassy, USCIS or Dept. Of Homeland Security requires AABB accredited DNA evidence of a biological aunt/uncle relationship for an immigration case, then order the  AABB accredited DNA test.

The most common method of DNA collection is through a cheek swab.  However, we understand there are times when a test participant is unable to submit a swab, such as may be the case where a family member may be deceased, incarcerated or otherwise unavailable. For these reasons, we offer forensic processing services for other types of DNA samples. Ear wax, hair (with the root ball attached), mucous on a tissue or handkerchief, finger or toe nail clippings, and toothbrushes are common forensic samples. Additionally, in certain cases blood or tissue samples may be available from a medical examiner or coroner’s office. Forensic sampling prices apply for non-standard samples. For pricing and more details on this process, please contact a DNA Case Manager.
