We understand the importance of establishing a child’s paternity. When an alleged father is unavailable, a sibling DNA test can be a reliable option to help determine paternity. At IDTO DNA, we take pride in providing accurate and affordable testing services to help families confirm biological relationships.
Below are our available DNA Sibling Testing options:
Full Siblings vs. Unrelated
This test checks whether two people share both biological parents or if they are not related at all.
Full Siblings vs. Half Siblings
This test checks whether two people who share the same mother also share the same biological father. Including the mother’s DNA sample can make results more accurate.
Half Siblings vs. Unrelated
This test checks whether two people with different mothers share the same biological father. For the best accuracy, it’s recommended to include DNA from one or both mothers.
