When both grandparents are tested along with the child and mother, accuracy can exceed 99.9%. If only one grandparent is tested or the mother is not included, the results are still reliable but may be slightly less conclusive.

✔ Grandparents – Testing the alleged father’s parents can help determine biological relationships.

✔ Aunts or uncles – The father’s siblings may also participate in testing to verify a genetic link.

These methods allow you to determine paternity even when the father is unavailable.
