Grandparent DNA tests also known as Grandparent Relationship Testing proving paternity allows the parent or parents of the alleged father to participate in a DNA test. In rare cases, grandparent testing may  be used to determine if the grandparent is the maternal grandparent to the child.  A Grandparent DNA test result will provide a statistical likelihood that the grandparent/grandchild relationship exists.

Grandparent testing can include one or both of the grandparents, but including both grandparents offers a stronger result. Also including the biological mother is always suggested in relationship testing. Adding the biological mother helps prevent inconclusive results. If the biological mother is not available, the test can still be performed.

After deciding on a test, we will either send out a Home Grandparent DNA Test Kit or schedule an appointment for Grandparent DNA Testing at any of our 1000+ Testing Centers for DNA collection.

Collect Samples

DNA collection is painless and easy to perform. DNA collections are performed with non-invasive buccal swabs. The swabs are brushed lightly on the inside of each individual’s cheeks for around 10 seconds.

For most grandparent tests, the samples are collected using sterile buccal swabs. These sterile cotton tip swabs are rubbed on the inside of the cheek collecting the epithelial cells. Buccal swab collections are completely painless and can be used on adults, children as well as babies. Due to the fact that the DNA found in our cheek cells is the same DNA found in all of our cells in our body, the results from this test would be exactly the same as if performing the test using a blood sample or other “special” samples.

Legal grandparent tests must be collected at one of our many collection sites. This allows the collection to be taken by a professional neutral third party. They will also take a thumbprint and a photo at the time of collection, providing proof of who was collected.
