Want to know more about DNA testing? David Hartshorne of DNA testing service Orchid Cellmark in Oxfordshire answers some common questions about the DNA testing process from choosing a lab to receiving the results.
Paternity or maternity testing is the most conclusive form of relationship analysis that can be undertaken.
But it is possible to use DNA testing to analyse a whole range of other family relationships such as aunts and uncles or grandparents or even siblings.
However, because of the nature of inheritance these other types of tests are often not as conclusive as the testing that we can carry out in a paternity test. It is therefore very important that you take advice before proceeding in any of these other types of cases.
