What happens at the Lab?
In a DNA Aunt/Uncle Test, a buccal (mouth) swab sample is collected from each individual.
The collected sample contains cells, with most cells in our body housing a full set of genetic information in the form of DNA. A person’s DNA serves as a “genetic blueprint” and, like a fingerprint, is unique to each individual.
Our laboratory extracts DNA from the cells, employing PCR (polymerase chain reaction) to amplify specific regions of the DNA. Our comprehensive test analyzes 16 to 27 specific regions, known as short tandem repeats (STRs), which are repetitions of short DNA sequences.
The DNA pattern of the alleged Aunt/Uncle is compared to that of the Niece/Nephew. A statistical analysis based on the anticipated match type for a genuine Aunt/Uncle relationship is then performed, and a “kinship index” is obtained.
* Biologically related Aunt/Uncle and Nephew/Niece pairs are expected to exhibit a kinship index greater than 1.0
* A higher kinship index value, exceeding 1.0, indicates an increased likelihood of biological relatedness between the two individuals.
* Unrelated individuals are expected to display a kinship index that falls below 1.0.

FAQ
Answers to commonly asked questions about this test.
The turnaround time for DNA Aunt/Uncle testing is 1 to 3 business days from the date samples are received by our laboratory. The results of the test are provided immediately upon completion.
* Orders received before 2:00pm Pacific Time are shipped out the same business day, while orders received after 2:00pm Pacific Time are shipped out the next business day. Express shipping typically takes 1 business day for most addresses within North America, however delivery to some rural addresses may take 2 business days.
Your results will show two numbers (alleles) that indicate the number of repeats that you received from each parent at each STR. You may have two identical alleles at a marker, or you may have two different alleles. These allele numbers are compared between the alleged aunt/uncle and child, and a statistical analysis is performed based on the match type typically expected for true aunt/uncle and nephew/niece pairs, and a “kinship index” is obtained.
RESULTS INTERPRETATION:
* Biologically related aunt/uncle and nephew/niece pairs are typically expected to have a kinship index value that is greater than 1.0
* The greater the kinship index value over 1.0, the higher the likelihood that the two individuals are biologically related
* Individuals who are not biologically related are expected to have a kinship index value that is less than 1.0
Testing of the mother is optional, however in some cases, adding the mother to the Aunt/Uncle test can strengthen the results. Additional fees will apply.

Yes! Every DNA Paternity Kit comes with a prepaid USPS return label. Once you have completed your collection, simply bring your package to your local USPS counter. Please note USPS (United States Postal Service) return labels are only valid in the United States.
Yes! Sample collection is very easy and takes only a few minutes. DNA is collected by easy-to-use, painless buccal (mouth) swabs that are included in your SecuriGene kit.
Collection can be performed by yourself, in the comfort of your own home*. Here are some benefits which make buccal (mouth) swabs the best option for relationship tests:
- Non-invasive: Buccal swabs are considered a non-invasive method of collecting DNA, as they only require a gentle rubbing of the inside of the cheek to obtain a sample.
- Convenient: Buccal swabs are small and easy to use, making them a convenient option for DNA testing. They can be collected by the individual at home or in a laboratory setting, and do not require any special equipment or training.
- Painless: They make the collection process easy and painless. The inside of your cheek is relatively insensitive, so collecting cells from this area using a soft tip is typically not painful or uncomfortable.
- Adequate Conditions for Shipping: Buccal swabs are easy to store for transport, as long as they are totally dry before shipping.
Your SecuriGene DNA Collection kit has all the supplies you need to perform the collection, including two (2) buccal (mouth) swabs per individual.
