Grandparent Testing
A sample must be included from both paternal grandparents.
Consider the Y-PLEX test if the child in question is male and only the grandfather is available for testing.
The results of DNA home kits are not guaranteed admissible in a court of law. 97% of all grandpaternity cases produce conclusive results. This test is more powerful than a sibling study.
Reasons for a grand paternity test
- Alleged father is deceased or unavailable
- Must establish paternity without alleged father’s participation
