Description
Aunt / Uncle – Niece / Nephew For Personal Knowledge Only
Labs By Request offers informational (non-legal) avuncular DNA testing to evaluate whether an aunt or uncle is biologically related to a niece or nephew. This testing is intended for personal insight and peace of mind and is not court-admissible.
This test is often chosen when a biological parent is unavailable for testing.
Common Reasons for Informational Avuncular Testing
- Family history clarification
- Adoption or reunion questions
- Genealogy research
- Personal reassurance
- Private confirmation without legal involvement
What This Test Can Indicate
- Whether the tested individuals are likely biologically related through a shared family line
- Results are probability-based, not absolute
Accuracy improves when additional family members (another aunt/uncle, sibling, or known parent) are included.
How Informational Testing Works
- Simple, non-invasive cheek swab samples
- Samples may be collected at home or in our office
- No photo ID or chain-of-custody requirements
- Confidential laboratory analysis
- Clear, easy-to-understand written results
