What it is:
A Missing Parent DNA Test is used when an alleged father or mother is deceased, unavailable, or unwilling to participate in a standard paternity or maternity test. Instead of testing the parent directly, this test collects DNA from the child, the known parent, and close biological relatives of the missing parent to reconstruct their genetic profile.
Why choose this over a standard Grandparent or Aunt/Uncle (Avuncular) test?
While single grandparent or avuncular tests are helpful, they rely on a smaller percentage of shared DNA (around 25%) and occasionally return inconclusive results. A Missing Parent Test is highly recommended because it uses multiple family members to completely rebuild the missing parent's genetic identity. This dramatically increases statistical accuracy and provides the definitive, conclusive answers you need.
Who can participate?
To achieve the highest level of accuracy, we recommend testing the child, the known parent (e.g., the mother if testing for paternal lineage), and at least two close biological relatives of the missing parent, such as:
Both paternal or maternal grandparents
Full siblings of the missing parent (aunts or uncles)
Other known children of the missing parent
