Full Sibling DNA Testing
Determine whether two individuals share both biological parents with our full sibling DNA test kit. This test compares the DNA profiles of two alleged siblings to calculate the likelihood that they are full siblings versus unrelated individuals.
For the highest accuracy possible, the mother must test.
What's Included:
- DNA collection swabs for both alleged siblings
- Step-by-step illustrated instructions
- Pre-paid return shipping label
- Secure online results portal access
How It Works:
Each participant provides a painless cheek swab sample at home. Our state-of-the-art laboratory performs advanced sibship analysis comparing the genetic profiles to calculate a sibship index, a statistical measure of the likelihood that the tested individuals are full siblings. Results are delivered within 2-3 business days through our secure online portal.
When to Use This Test:
- You believe you and another person share both parents
- Reconnecting with a potential sibling after adoption or separation
- The alleged father is unavailable for direct paternity testing
- Personal peace of mind about family relationships
Important: This is a peace-of-mind (informational) test for personal knowledge. If you need court-admissible results, please see our Legal Full Sibling DNA Test Kit.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a full sibling and a half sibling DNA test?
A full sibling test determines if two people share both biological parents, while a half sibling test determines if they share only one biological parent. The type of test you need depends on whether both parents or just one parent is in question.
Can a sibling DNA test prove paternity?
A sibling test can provide strong evidence of a shared biological father when the alleged father is unavailable for direct paternity testing. Adding the mother's DNA can strengthen the analysis. For the most definitive results, a direct paternity test is recommended when possible.
How accurate is a sibling DNA test?
Sibling DNA tests are highly accurate when performed by a qualified laboratory. Results are expressed as a sibship index and probability percentage. Including the mother's DNA sample can significantly improve the statistical strength of the results.
