At-Home Aunt DNA Test
An avuncular DNA test determines whether a child is biologically related to their aunt or uncle—typically the brother or sister of the alleged father or mother.
This test is useful when a parent is unavailable or unwilling to provide a sample. Cheek swabs are collected from the child and the alleged aunt or uncle, with optional inclusion of the child’s mother to improve accuracy.
Using 24-marker DNA analysis, our lab calculates a likelihood ratio indicating whether a biological relationship exists. While not as definitive as paternity testing, it still offers a strong indicator of relatedness.

What our customers say
Frequently asked questions
Non-invasive DNA tests — how do they work?
A non-invasive DNA test uses a simple cheek swab to collect DNA without needles or clinic visits. At AssureDNA, our sample collection kits are easy to use at home and returned to us to be analysed in our UKAS-accredited laboratory for accurate, confidential results.
What consent is required for an At-Home Aunt DNA Test?
No test will be undertaken without the consent of each adult to be tested (unless a court has ruled otherwise). Each adult is required to sign a Consent Form. An adult is someone who is 18 years or over. A child of 16 or 17 years of age is presumed to be capable of giving consent and may give consent as if they were an adult. Each participant over the age of 16 years will need to consent for their DNA to be tested and will need to support this with a suitable copy of identification.
How long does it take to get DNA test results?
At AssureDNA, we deliver results the next working day after your samples arrive at our laboratory. With fast kit dispatch, first-class Royal Mail delivery, and efficient processing, you’ll have your answers quickly.
Are the results confidential?
Yes, under the requirements of UK Data Protection laws, all services and results are confidential. Only those conducting a test or those consenting for people in the test can see the report.
Are At-Home Aunt DNA Test legally admissible in court?
AssureDNA offers tests for peace of mind purposes. Legal tests require strict chain-of-custody protocols. If you're looking for a legal test (for example, to use in Court), just get in touch and we can guide you through our legal testing service.
What’s included in an At-Home Aunt DNA Test kit?
Each AssureDNA kit includes self-sampling swab packs, full instructions, a pre-paid return envelope, consent documents, and access to support. Kits are sent in discreet packaging for privacy and results are emailed securely once testing is complete.
How accurate is a DNA test for uncle and nephew?
Avuncular DNA tests (uncle/niece or uncle/nephew) are very accurate when performed by an accredited laboratory. Our UKAS accredited laboratory analyses 25 DNA ‘markers’ to determine a biological relationship using a fully validated test methodology. Results typically show a high probability of a relationship or exclusion of a biological relationship. Where a result is inconclusive, additional markers can be tested, or addition of another known relative to the test can assist with its resolution.
