Description
The DNA Grandparent Test is used in situations where the alleged parent is not available for testing. Either the grandmother, or the grandfather, or both, can take the DNA Grandparent Test to investigate the likelihood that they are the biological grandparents of a grandchild.
Every analysis is automatically run twice, utilizing advanced robotics and analyzers in a fully accredited testing laboratory. The full genetic report is included with every test and is available online two business days after the laboratory receives the DNA sample*.
The DNA sample is collected using a discreet, quick and painless mouth swab. This test can be performed on individuals of any age, including newborns. If the individuals to be tested live in different cities, or even different countries, the DNA collection kit can be split and each component sent to a different address. The components are individually barcoded and the buccal samples will be tested together, even if sent back separately.
The DNA kit includes all the supplies required to collect a DNA sample from the child and alleged grandparent. If DNA testing of more than one child or more than one alleged grandparent is required, please contact Genovate directly.
This DNA test is not recognized in a court of law. However, Genovate also offers a Legal DNA Grandparent Test and has sample collection facilities in most major cities in the United States and Canada. Contact Genovate directly to arrange a Legal DNA Grandparent Test and professional witnessed sample collection.
*Poor DNA quality, rare genetic variations or closely related alleged grandparents may delay the availability of results.
