Paternity Alternative
A direct paternity test is always the best option to determine a biological relationship. However, in instances where the alleged father is unavailable or unwilling to participate, a grandparentage test is another option to consider.
Determine Relationships
This test indicates the likelihood that the alleged grandparent is more or less likely to be related to the child based on the genetic material exhibited by each person.
Flexible Participation
The standard test setup includes one or both alleged paternal grandparents and a child to establish the familial link.

Grandparent DNA Testing FAQs
What is a grandparent DNA test used for?
A grandparent DNA test is used to determine the statistical probability that a child is biologically related to the alleged grandparents. This test is primarily used to establish paternity when the child's alleged father is deceased, missing, or unavailable for testing.
Do both grandparents need to be tested?
For the most conclusive and accurate results, we strongly recommend testing both the paternal grandmother and the paternal grandfather. By testing both, the laboratory can completely reconstruct the missing father's DNA profile. We can still perform the test if only one grandparent is available, but the inclusion of the child's mother becomes crucial.
Does the child's mother need to participate?
Yes, we highly recommend that the child's mother participates. Because a child inherits half of their DNA from their mother, testing her allows the lab to eliminate her genetic markers from the child's profile. This leaves only the paternal DNA to compare against the grandparents, dramatically increasing the accuracy of the result.
Can this test be used for Social Security survivor benefits?
Yes. If you choose our Legal Grandparent DNA Test, we follow strict chain-of-custody protocols and use an AABB-accredited laboratory. These official results are fully admissible in court and are frequently used for Social Security survivor benefits, estate probate, and child custody cases.
