Our Uncle DNA Test will confirm whether or not there is a biological relationship between a niece or nephew and their potential uncle. Results are provided in just 3 business days.

Due to New York State Department of Health regulations, we cannot offer any peace of mind paternity or relationship tests to New York residents.

The test includes one uncle and one niece or nephew. Add additional nieces / nephews as necessary.

It is recommended that a parent be included but it is not essential.

The standard test analyzes 25 DNA markers. The enhanced test analyzes an industry-leading 45 DNA markers and is the most powerful DNA test available. It allows more genetic material to be analyzed, which strengthens the result and provides additional reassurance.

Your DNA results will be emailed to you. If you would also like to receive a hard copy report please select this option below, and a paper copy will be sent to your delivery address.

We also provide options for additional reports. The DNA technical data sheet includes the DNA profiles of each person tested and the likelihood values used to calculate the final results. The electropherogram is the graphical representation of a person’s DNA profile. This includes all persons tested.

Frequently Asked Questions

About our Uncle DNA Test

From just $179, including your test kit and all lab fees, an AlphaBiolabs Uncle DNA Test can help determine the biological relationship of a child to a possible uncle, with results in just 3 business days.

This test is often used in situations where the assumed mother or father has passed away or is unwilling to take a DNA test.

This means that the only way to determine a biological relationship between an uncle and their possible niece/nephew is by performing a DNA test on the assumed uncle.

AlphaBiolabs’ Uncle DNA test (also known as an avuncular test) compares a child’s DNA profile with a possible uncle’s. Since a child inherits half of its DNA from each biological parent, the DNA comparison can reveal whether the child has inherited DNA from the suspected uncle.

Once the participants have had their DNA samples tested, AlphaBiolabs can calculate a combined likelihood ratio that will determine the probability of a biological relationship.

This is not the same as a paternity test, which is more conclusive. Uncle DNA testing will produce genetic profiles of the participants and determine probabilities. If a probability of relatedness is 90% or higher, it is highly likely that the uncle is related to the niece/nephew; under 10% probability would be considered unlikely to be related.

If the probability of relatedness falls between 10% and 90%, it is inconclusive, meaning a relationship cannot be statistically supported by the analysis.

What will the test cost?

You can order our Uncle DNA Test online now from just $179. The cost of the test includes your test kit and all lab fees. 

The test kit includes enough cheek swabs to test one potential niece/nephew, one potential uncle, and a mother/father (where possible).

If you would like to test more than one potential niece/nephew, you can select this option when placing your order (additional charges apply).

What is the difference between the standard and the enhanced test?

Our standard uncle test is already industry-leading, as it analyzes 25 DNA markers (the industry standard only analyses 16-21 markers).

What makes AlphaBiolabs unique is that we can also analyze up to 45 DNA markers. This allows more genetic material to be analyzed, which strengthens the result and provides additional reassurance.

This is ideal for customers who want the most powerful DNA test available.

It is also particularly useful in tests of a more complex nature, such as an uncle test, where the chance of obtaining a conclusive result will always be lower than the more straightforward paternity or maternity tests. This is because the DNA hasn’t been directly inherited. The enhanced test will increase the chance of obtaining a conclusive result.

What is included in the kit?

For $179, including your test kit and all lab fees, our Uncle DNA Test kit includes:

  • Test request/consent form
  • Complete, easy-to-follow instructions on how to take the test and return your samples to our laboratory

  • Three DNA sample collection swab packages, containing two swabs in each package. There are enough swabs to test one child, an uncle, and a mother/father (where possible)
  • Individual DNA test sample envelopes

If you need to test more individuals, you can easily select this option while placing your order (additional charges apply). 

Your test kit will be sent directly to your preferred address in discreet, plain packaging, for full confidentiality.

Our test results are accurate, but you may not get a conclusive result

AlphaBiolabs' Uncle DNA Test is extremely accurate. However, due to the nature of uncle DNA testing, you may not get a conclusive result.

Uncle DNA testing can be up to 40% inconclusive. We have worked hard to reduce that rate to just 28% for an AlphaBiolabs Uncle DNA Test. This means that one in four people will not get a decisive answer.

This test comes with a money-back guarantee. If we can't give you a conclusive result, we will refund the price of your test.

Can kits be sent to two addresses?

Yes, AlphaBiolabs can mail your Uncle DNA Test kits to two different addresses.

You will find the option to list a 2nd address when you check out.

Both test kits will be sent out in discreet, plain packaging, for full confidentiality. 

What is peace of mind testing?

At AlphaBiolabs, we offer peace of mind testing with all our DNA testing kits.

As the name suggests, a peace of mind DNA test is for personal use only.  

The results of these tests can give you the answers you need, but they cannot be used for legal purposes or in court proceedings.

Peace of mind tests also allow you to collect your samples quickly and easily at home, without the need to use a more costly and time-consuming third-party to verify the DNA sample collection.
