At Palmetto Compliance & Testing, our Avuncular DNA Testing service is designed to help determine whether an alleged aunt or uncle is biologically related to a child when the alleged father is unavailable for testing.

If the alleged father cannot participate in the DNA test, his brother or sister may test in the place to help determine whether they are the biological aunt or uncle of the child. By comparing the DNA of the child and the alleged paternal aunt or uncle, the laboratory can evaluate the likelihood of a biological family relationship.

This type of testing is commonly used for personal knowledge, family verification, inheritance matters, immigration purposes, and certain legal situations depending on the testing option selected.

The collection process is simple, non-invasive, and typically performed using painless cheek (buccal) swabs from each participant. All samples are collected and handled using professional procedures to help ensure accurate, reliable, and confidential results.

Once collected, specimens and securely submitted to an accredited laboratory where advanced DNA analysis is performed under strict quality control standards. Results are carefully reviewed and delivered confidentially within the standard laboratory turnaround timeframe.

Standard testing typically includes:

• 1 Alleged Paternal Uncle or Aunt

• 1 Child

• 1 Mother (Highly Recommended for Increased Accuracy)

Our goal is to provide dependable answers through professional, confidential, and accurate DNA testing services in a comfortable and supportive environment.
