What relationship does grandparentage testing prove?

Grandparentage testing determines whether a woman or man is the biological grandparent of the grandchild or grandchildren in question. We recommend that the mother of the child(ren) participates in these tests where possible, that way our scientists can eliminate the mother’s DNA from the child’s and compare the remaining DNA to the tested grandparent or grandparents.

Which family members should take the Grandparentage Test?

Biotas will require DNA samples from the child and grandparent. We recommend that both alleged grandparents and the mother of the child participate where possible as this increases the accuracy of the test. An individual with Parental Responsibility will need to give consent for any participants under the age of 16. In most cases this is the child’s mother, or father if he is on the birth certificate. In some scenarios Parental Responsibility may have been passed to another family member or the local authority.

Are the Grandparentage Test results conclusive?

The likelihood of obtaining a conclusive result when undertaking a Grandparentage Test varies depending on which individuals are participating in the case:

2 Grandparents, Mother and Child – 99.9%
2 Grandparents and Child – 99.2%
Grandparent, Child and Mother – 86%
Grandparent and Child – 73%

Where a test comes back inconclusive, Biotas will recommend which additional individuals may be required to provide a sample to improve the likelihood of gaining a conclusive result. There will be additional charges associated in these instances.
