Avuncular DNA Testing
Our Avuncular DNA tests are here to establish relationships between a tested child and their aunt(s) and/or uncle(s).
This DNA test compares an individuals DNA profile with that of an alleged aunt or uncle. As an individual inherit half of his/her DNA from each of their biological parents, such comparison discloses whether the tested individual has inherited DNA from the alleged aunt and/or uncle.

Mothers’ Participation
Please note that the results of more complex relationship tests, such as an avuncular DNA test are not usually as conclusive as a standard paternity test. This can result in cases where a relationship may exist but we are unable to detect it, simply due to the way in which the DNA has been inherited.
To make the results more conclusive, we strongly recommend that the mother(s) of the participants in the test take part where possible. For this reason we will include a swab and its processing free of charge.
Easy-to-use
Our laboratory only accepts cheek cell (buccal) samples for avuncular DNA testing, as we find it is the most painless, quick and easy method for obtaining good quality DNA samples.
Our DNA testing kits contain everything you require for an avuncular DNA test.
The kit will include:
- Consent Form
- 3 sterile swabs
- Prepaid return envelope
- DNA testing information sheet
- Terms & Conditions

Human Tissue Act
Please note, we strongly recommend that the mother of the child participates in the test where possible as this makes the results much more conclusive. For that reason, we will include a swab and will process her DNA free of charge.
