What an aunt or uncle DNA test at the Omaha office does

An aunt or uncle DNA test compares genetic markers between an alleged biological aunt or uncle and a possible niece or nephew to determine whether they share a biological relationship through the same paternal or maternal line. At the Omaha office, cheek swabs are collected by trained staff, or you can pick up a kit to complete at home. Either path uses the same US-based AABB-accredited and CAP-certified lab.

When to choose this test

  • The alleged biological father is unavailable, deceased, or unwilling to test.

  • The child's biological mother is unavailable and the family needs to work through the paternal side.

  • The aunt or uncle is local to Omaha and coming in-office is easier than shipping.

  • A more thorough result is needed than an at-home test alone, and professional collection helps rule out sample quality issues.

How accurate is an aunt or uncle DNA test?

Testing runs through a US-based AABB-accredited and CAP-certified laboratory partner with dual processing. The lab tests 46 DNA genetic markers for avuncular testing. My Forever DNA guarantees a specific 46 DNA genetic markers on every avuncular test.

When to add the mother's cheek swab

Including the child's biological mother strengthens the avuncular comparison significantly. She can come in-office to have samples collected during the same visit, or her sample can be added later. Her sample is optional and included at no additional cost.

When to choose legal chain-of-custody testing

This informational aunt or uncle test isn't court-admissible. For custody, immigration, or other legal proceedings, a legal chain-of-custody avuncular test is a separate service at the Omaha office.

Turnaround for aunt or uncle testing

Results are typically completed and emailed within 2 to 3 business days after the lab receives all samples and places them into processing. Same lab window as the at-home aunt/uncle kit, minus the shipping days on either end.

Why avuncular testing takes longer than paternity

Paternity testing is a direct parent-child comparison. Avuncular testing requires the lab to model shared inheritance across an aunt/uncle-to-niece/nephew relationship, which involves more statistical work. The extra time is inside the lab window, not in collection or processing overhead.

One specialist, one office, one case

The Omaha office model means you have a physical place to visit and a specific person handling your case from collection through result. No call center handoffs. The DNA specialist who collects your samples is the same person who releases the report and answers your questions afterward.

Support for likelihood-based results

Aunt or uncle results come back as a likelihood ratio rather than a clean yes-or-no. "Strong" is straightforward. "Moderate" or "inconclusive" often benefits from a conversation about whether adding the mother's sample or a second aunt or uncle would strengthen the finding. That conversation happens face to face or by phone with your specialist.

Private in-office experience

Collection happens in a private room, separate from the front desk. Nothing on your case gets published, uploaded, or shared beyond you and the participants you designate.

DNA handling

  • Physical samples destroyed after testing per laboratory protocol.
  • No consumer DNA profile is built or stored.
  • No upload to ancestry, genealogy, law enforcement, or research databases.
  • DNA data is never sold, licensed, or shared with third parties.

Private billing

Charges appear as "MFD" on your card or bank statement.
