Aunt & Uncle Test

$349

An aunt–uncle DNA test, also known as an avuncular test, is used to determine whether a person is the biological aunt or uncle of their niece or nephew. The test results provide a probability of the biological relationship between the individuals tested.

About avuncular testing

Avuncular testing involves the analysis of two individuals—the aunt or uncle and their niece or nephew. The results are delivered via email in PDF format within 5 to 7 working days. Please note that the turnaround time begins once you receive an email confirming that your samples have been received by the laboratory.

This test can only be performed if the tested aunt or uncle is a full sibling of the alleged father. It is commonly used in cases where the alleged parent is deceased or unavailable. Testing a full sibling of the alleged parent alongside the child can help determine the likelihood of a biological relationship.

We strongly recommend including a known parent’s sample to strengthen the results.

Note: Standard result turnaround time is only guaranteed when oral swab samples are used. Using a discreet sample may result in longer processing times.

Results for aunt/uncle testing

Test results are designed to provide a statistical likelihood that supports the claimed biological relationship. Including additional individuals—such as a known parent—or opting for direct relationship testing can offer stronger supporting evidence and improve the accuracy of the results.

Are the relatives male?

If the goal is to confirm a biological relationship between male relatives, the Y chromosome test is the ideal option. It is a more reliable alternative to uncle-nephew avuncular testing, offering highly accurate results. This test provides a clear yes or no answer—either confirming a shared paternal line or excluding a biological relationship.

The cost of the Y chromosome test is $349, which includes testing for two male individuals. Results are typically available within 5 to 7 working days.
