- DNA testing grandparents grandchildren
Can a DNA test be carried out for a grandfather-grandson without the mother?
In previous articles, we talked about the possibility that you have of carrying out a DNA test between grandparents and grandchildren, in this case, we will discuss the importance of the collaboration of the mother of a child in the participation of the DNA test. grandparents, and why this is a relevant priority.
Also, we will provide additional information about this topic to explain....
Why is it necessary to test both grandparents in a DNA test?
First, the DNA of the grandfather and grandmother is taken, and the DNA of the missing, unanalyzed father (the father of the grandson) is reconstructed. Second, once this is done, it is possible to indirectly establish the child's paternity or maternity by comparing the reconstructed profile with the child's profile to confirm whether the missing and unproven parent is the child's biological father. Also, this provides probability of relationship between grandfather and grandmother with the grandson, both separately.
Results will be emailed to you within 10 business days of receipt of your samples in our lab.
Can the DNA test be done without the mother? Yes, it can be done without the presence of the mother, but it is always recommended that the mother be present in the grandparent test, in order to obtain conclusive results.
DNA is easily and quickly collected with buccal swabs, as we have shown in previous articles, which you can see on our site (buccal swab using the home dna kit,
or the DNA test in our laboratories) which is usually a simple and painless procedure.
ATTENTION!
- If you need results for legal reasons (inheritance or immigration, for example), home testing is not an option. In order to obtain admissible results in court, you must contact our laboratory in advance to schedule a legal test with witnesses.
- If you do not have legal authority to act on behalf of a minor child, the responsibility to obtain all necessary consents before submitting the minor child's DNA for testing rests with you.
Protection of the rights of grandparents
As a paternal grandfather, you really don't know if your grandchildren are truly yours. Even if you love and appreciate each child equally, nothing can replace the security you get from knowing for sure if those children are biologically related to you.
There are a few reasons why the child's mother may refuse to allow a grandparent's DNA test. Therefore, it is necessary that for this request the courts to administer the test.
Is it possible to send the grandparent DNA test kit to more than one address?
Yes, the kit can be divided and each component sent to a different address. Since the kits are individually labeled, they will be tested together once the samples arrive at the lab. If you would like to order a split kit for two people living in different cities, please indicate which name and address to send each component to.
