Find out whether you are the biological grandmother or grandfather.

This at-home DNA grandparent test kit is ideal for determining the likelihood of a biological grandparent-grandchild relationship when the parent(s) in question cannot be tested directly. With this easy-to-use home kit, you can collect a mouth swab quickly and discreetly in the privacy of your own home and send it to our laboratory for analysis. Your test results will be available for download from your secure online account within 1-2 business days of receipt at the lab.

Either the grandmother, or the grandfather, or both, can take the DNA Grandparent Test to investigate whether a genetic relationship exists between the alleged grandparent and grandchild. If the parent(s) in question are available for testing, we recommend taking the DNA Paternity Test or DNA Maternity Test over the grandparent test.

FAQ
