Sibling Testing

Full siblings, half siblings, or no siblings at all; use DNA testing to discover the possibilities.

LEGAL TESTS

When should I use a legal sibling test?

A DNA sibling test will test the relationship between two or more individuals to assess if they are biologically related as siblings. Sibling tests can also be used to provide reliable parentage testing when one parent is deceased or unavailable.

What type of sample is collected in a legal test?

The most common sample type is a buccal swab.  This sample is collected using a cotton swab that is gently rubbed on the inside of your cheek.  Blood samples are also acceptable.

AT-HOME TESTS (NON-LEGAL)

At-home DNA tests are commonly called non-legal tests. DNA samples for at-home tests are collected by individuals in the privacy of their own home. They provide the same information as a legal DNA test, but they are not intended for use in a court of law. If there is a possibility that the results might be needed for legal purposes, a legal test should be performed.
