A DNA grandparentage test determines the relationship between a child, and the parents of the alleged father
In the grandparentage test, the DNA profile of the grandson or granddaughter must be compared with the DNA profiles of the biological parents of the alleged father. It turns out that the son inherits half of his DNA from the mother (maternal side), the paternal half should match the DNA transmitted by the presumed grandparents.To facilitate the analysis and guarantee the result with the greatest possible precision, the participation of the mother is always recommended, whenever possible.
Grandparentage tests without the mother's contest are much more complex, requiring extensive analysis that takes more time. However, it is also possible to carry out this test only with the participation of one of the grandparents, therefore, it is not necessary for both grandparents to be present to carry out the genetic test.
What should I do to take a grandparentage DNA test?
If you are interested in carrying out a test of this type, the first thing you must tell us is whether you need the results for legal purposes or, if not, you need the results as an informative title. Next, you must take the DNA samples by collecting a saliva sample, with two cotton swabs, two for each participant.
This turns out to be easier, cheaper and faster than other labs, because you don't have to travel to the lab to perform the test and neither do the test participants.The action that is carried out by means of the saliva sample that is collected with both swabs is a test that does not produce erosion, injury or pain.
If you do not want to wait for the DNA kit with the swabs to arrive, you can make your own DNA kit at home with a few simple steps, quickly, and cheaply, thus reducing the time of sending and receiving the samples. and from the same kit. The saliva sample collection method is a much safer method than blood or another type of sample, and it is also much more precise and effective.
If you need to know how to build your homemade DNA kit, in less than 5 minutes, which is the time it will take you to build it, with only 4 cotton swabs, two paper envelopes and a larger paper envelope, we leave you the instructions at the following link: Create your own inexpensive and easy-to-build home DNA kit.
You will see that it turns out to be very easy and cheap to do. It should be noted that, also for greater peace of mind for the participants, this type of test, due to its high complexity and its importance, it is extremely important that they be carried out by an accredited laboratory with great experience, so that the result ensures 100% accuracy. reliability and precision.
AtHomeDNAKIT is associated with the best laboratories in your area, and has the best qualified and certified standards in the world, so rest assured and rest assured that you can count on us and our experience and professionalism.The samples taken by our clients with both types of DNA kit arrive safely at our laboratory, and have a precision percentage of 99.9% probability of being exact.
For legal use and/or administrative procedures: The result of the study can be used as evidence in legal instances or as valid documentation in the case of administrative procedures.Sampling is carried out in our center under the Chain of Custody process with the presence of the parties involved (in future articles we will talk about this and what you should know about DNA tests and their use).Notice the following:If the grandchildren or grandson is a minor (-18 years old) they must attend with their biological mother and the presumed grandfather.
Participants must prove their identity with their valid identity document and present the minor's birth certificate.
If the grandson or granddaughter is of legal age (+18 years), they must attend with their presumed grandfather or grandmother, and both must appear only with their legal identification. Only by complying with the specifications requested by our laboratories, the result will be valid to present before any administrative body or before the court of justice.
Benefits of performing the grandparent DNA test with us:
- Results within 10 business days (we carry out a test and counter-test for best results).
- 99.9% conclusive and accurate results.
- We analyze more DNA fragments than other laboratories, and we carry out a test and countertest to ensure the quality of the results, so rest assured that they are always accurate and reliable.
Confidentiality is one of our greatest virtues. Relax you and yours, the test will be treated with total discretion, and once you have carried out the DNA test, whatever the type you carry out, once you have the results in your hands, we carry out the destruction of tests so that they are not used in any medium or place.

I’m very impressed! This company has been nothing but a pleasure to deal with from the moment I picked up the phone. I ordered a paternity kit and it was shipped to me after 3 business days. The test was simple and discreet, very easy to take. The results were available after 5 days and I can finally sleep better knowing the truth.
