The DNA grandparent test investigates the likelihood that a grandparent is the true biological grandparent of a child
When testing an alleged father directly through a paternity test is not possible, a grandparentage DNA test is one of the most reliable alternatives available. By analyzing shared genetic markers between a grandparent and grandchild, the test calculates the statistical probability of a biological grandparent-grandchild relationship. Sample collection is simple and painless, using mouth swabs you can use at home. It’s important to note that a direct paternity test remains the gold standard for conclusive results regarding father-child relationships. We recommend choosing a paternity test whenever the alleged father is available and willing to test.
Accurate & Reliable
Our industry-leading home grandparent test includes up to 27 genetic markers tested – the highest in the industry. Every test is run twice in our accredited laboratory, giving you the maximum possible confidence in your results.
Simple, Painless Sample Collection
No needles, no blood, no doctors. Collect your samples with our easy-to-use mouth swabs, then return them to the lab with the provided prepaid return envelope. It’s quick, easy & painless.
Fast Results in 1-2 Days
Your results are ready in just 1-2 business days after our accredited laboratory receives your samples, making it one of the fastest at-home DNA testing kits on the market.

If the parties to be tested live in different cities, we can split the kit for you and send the kit components to different addresses. Since the sibling test kit components are individually barcoded, the samples will still be tested together once they arrive at the laboratory. To order a split kit, simply enter the following information in the comments box of the order form when you check out.
“Please split this kit. Send the grandparent’s portion of the kit to (Grandparent’s name and shipping address), and send the grandchild’s portion of the kit to (Grandchild’s name and shipping address).”
An extra shipping fee of $10 will be automatically applied for each additional address within the US. Split kits will be shipped out using USPS First Class Package Service.
The DNA grandparent test is not as powerful as a DNA paternity test so this test should only be considered in situations where it is absolutely impossible to test the alleged father using a DNA paternity test. The paternity test will always give an absolutely conclusive result regarding paternity. Whenever the alleged father is available for testing, the paternity test is always the recommended test as it is the most powerful and conclusive test. However, in cases where the alleged father is not available for testing and there is no other option but to test the alleged grandparent, the DNA grandparent test can provide a statistical analysis of the probability of relationship.
When a DNA Grandparentage test is performed, the autosomal STR profiles of the grandchild and alleged grandparent are obtained and compared. A statistical analysis is performed based on the match type typically expected for true grandchild/grandparent pairs and a “Combined Kinship Index” value is obtained. The value is compared against the following chart:
Combined Kinship Indexes and their verbal equivalent:
Combined Kinship Index >10000 = Practically proven
Combined Kinship Index from >1000 to 10000 = Highly likely
Combined Kinship Index from >100 to 1000 = Very likely
Combined Kinship Index from >10 to 100 = Likely
Combined Kinship Index from >1 to 10 = Slightly more likely than unlikely
Combined Kinship Index of 1 = Inconclusive
Combined Kinship Index from 0.1 to <1 = Slightly more unlikely than likely
Combined Kinship Index from 0.01 to <0.1 = Unlikely
Combined Kinship Index <0.01 = Highly unlikely
The private DNA grandparent test is for personal knowledge only. It is intended for families to find out the truth before deciding on the next step. If you are interested in using the results in court, you will need to choose the legal DNA test. If the choose the legal test, you cannot collect the sample in private. The sample collection must be witnessed by an unbiased third party. Click here to learn more about legal testing.
