The Aunt-Uncle DNA test (or avuncular DNA test as it is also known) will determine if a child is biologically related to an alleged parent through the DNA comparison to their direct siblings. Therefore this test will require the inclusion of a known sibling male (Uncle) or female (Aunt) to asses whether they are related or not.
As per all relationship DNA testing, the sample of the other known parent (usually the Mother) is recommended to be included in the analysis to strengthen the results of the aunt-uncle DNA test. The result will provide a probability of relatedness and we normally take 80%> to indicate a relationship and 20%> to indicate an exclusion of relationship.
When considering this type of test, it is also important to look at potential other options such as the Y-Chromosome test which can determine relationships accurately through the male lineage (see below).
Avuncular testing is priced from $399. This will include one aunt or uncle and one alleged niece/nephew. Results are normally sent by email within 5 - 7 working days from when the samples are received at the laboratory. However, for faster results an express option is also available.
