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.
