An avuncular test involves testing the child’Äôs paternal aunt or uncle (the alleged father’Äôs sister or brother). Including the mother in this test is strongly recommended as it strengthens the genetic evidence.  Generally, this test will not give results as strong as a grandparentage test, but it is still a good option if the only people available for testing are the alleged father's siblings.

The fee for this test is based on the number of individuals tested.  Results are available 3-5 business days after receipt at the laboratory.
