Avuncular DNA Testing in NYC
Avuncular DNA Tests in New York City
In cases where the alleged biological father of a child is unable to be tested, NYC DNA Testing can perform what is known as an avuncular DNA test. In these tests, we examine the DNA of the child alongside the DNA of the biological brother or sister of the alleged father.
How does it work?
A child obtains half of his/her DNA from their biological mother and the other half from their biological father. These are called maternal genes and paternal genes, respectively. Since the alleged father shares DNA with his full siblings; the father’s alleged child would also share paternal genes with the full sibling of the biological father.
