Grandparentage Test
A grandparentage DNA test determines whether a couple
could be the biological grandparents of a child. It is an indirect
way to determine family relationships when an alleged father is
not available for a paternity test. Grandparentage test results
may be used as proof in Social Security benefit and other inheritance
claims as well as in some immigration cases.
In the test, the child’s DNA profile is compared
with the DNA profiles of the alleged father’s biological parents.
Since a child inherits half of his/her DNA from the mother (maternal
side) and half from the father (paternal side), the paternal half
should match DNA passed down from the alleged grandparents. The mother’s
participation is encouraged to expedite analysis; motherless grandparentage
tests take longer to complete because of the
extended analysis required.
