Siblingship DNA Testing At Home Or Court Admissible

What Is A Sibling DNA Test

A Siblingship (or Sibship) DNA test analyzes the DNA of the tested individuals to determine whether the test participants have one or both of the parents in common, or if they are not related at all.  Our Sibling DNA test includes testing for two siblings (bother/sister), but you may add more as needed; for instance a third sibling, or parents. Like a Paternity test, the mother is not included in the test, but can be added if the client desires. Adding a known parent to a Siblingship DNA test will greatly increase the conclusiveness of the test and is recommended if possible. 

A Sibling DNA Test Can Answer 3 Questions:

• Do the Siblings share any common parent? (Are they related at all?)
• Do the Siblings share one common parent? (Half-Siblings)
• Do the Siblings share both parents? (Full Siblings)

Our Siblingship DNA test is among the most advanced in the industry, and through our lab's AABB accredition, our Sibling DNA tests may be admisable in court.  Other companies may claim to be able to give a more conclusive result through other much more costly types of sibling test, but if they are not an A.A.B.B. accredited, should/could you really trust their bosterous claims? A lab that does not have an AABB accreditation, has no regulations or guidelines that have to be adhered to, and therefore a result could be inaccurate or misleading. Remember, if their results can not be admissable in a USA court of law, should you allow such results in your home?

Essentially, every human is composed of 46 paired chromosomes.  In a scenario where two siblings are trying to determine if they share a common father, if the mother is tested along with the siblings, the known parent (mother in this case) would be compared to her child(ren) and thus the genes contributed by the mother would be identifed and separated.  The remaining genes would be paternal, and can be much more easily compared to one another to determine if the siblings share the same father or not.

Understanding Siblingship or Sibship Testing:

In a Siblingship analysis, our DNA laboratory will analyze 16 of the 23 pairs of chromosomes for each of the siblings.  Based on the type of genetic material inherited by each sibling, a siblingship index is determined. The higher the index is, the greater the likelihood that a true biological relationship is shared between the test participants. If the siblingship index is less than 1.00, this indicates that a biological relationship is less likely.  If the siblingship index is greater than 1.00, this indicates that the two tested individuals are more likely to be biological siblings. To analyze the possibility that the siblings share only one common parent versus two common parents (mother or father), a half siblingship index is obtained. The ratio of the half siblingship index versus the full siblingship index would provide you with an idea of whether the two individuals are more likely to share only one common parent (e.g. mother only) or two common parents (mother and father).

Your Sibship test result will also provide a percentage of probability of the tested individuals being full siblings, half siblings and/or not related at all.  These percentages are probably the easiest means to understanding your result.  Each percentage will represent the probability that a true biological relationship does or does not exist.

How To Make Your Test More Conclusive:

With the exception of identical twins, each person’s DNA is as unique as their fingerprint.  When the issue of siblingship is in question, the recommended method to determine whether individuals are true biological siblings is to test the parents along with the siblings. In situations where the alleged parents are unavailable for testing, a DNA siblingship test can still be performed to analyze the relationship of biological siblings.

A DNA Paternity or Maternity test will always provide a conclusive result, however Siblingship tests are different. Paternity and Maternity tests look for “obligatory” genes.  “Obligatory” genes are genes that must be present to positively establish a relationship.  When a Siblingship test is conducted, there are not obligatory genes.  Therefore, including the mother(s) in a Siblingship test greatly increases the conclusiveness of the DNA analysis and is recommended if at all possible.

Additionally, if both alleged siblings are male, a Y-STR Test can be done to determine with great accuracy, whether the two males are from the same male lineage.  This test is done through testing the Y-Chromosome.  For more information on the Y-STR Test, please click here. If the alleged siblings are both female and would like to determine if they share a common mother, the X-SV Test would be a an option as well. For more information on the X-SV Test, please click here.

Although the sibling DNA test may not always provide you with a conclusive answer, it may be able to provide you with an indication of whether you are more likely to be or not to be the true biological sibling of the other tested individual. Don't fall for exagerated claims made by so called labs, non AABB accredited . Remember, "If It Sounds To Good To Be True, It Probably Is not True!"

When you compare apples to apples what our lab offers against those of the many other labs in the marketplace you will find that we truly offer the highest quality Sibling DNA tests at what are among the cheapest prices. Many other labs simply hide shipping costs and/or methods, return samples in USPS mail, or do not provide return shipping back to their laboratory at all. Some offer results within 2-3 days, but be aware the samples are often returned to them in untraceable USPS mail. Our lab is the only lab in the industry, that automatically offers return samples back to the lab in overnight FedEx. So, while their samples are still in transit in snail mail, we often will have your results ready. If you would like help in comparing what we offer to other quotes you received, Call Us At (877) 786-9543.

Before You Buy Your Sibling DNA Test, Consider These Facts:

• ALL OUR DNA TESTS INCLUDE FREE NEXT-DAY FEDEX RETURN OF THE SAMPLES! Our competitors use USPS snail mail for returned kits which is very slow and untraceable. With us you're certain when we received samples. DON'T RISK DNA SAMPLES GETTING LOST?
  (Our 3 Day Guarantee Is Really 3 Days.)
• Our lab is truly A.A.B.B. accredited, does all their own tests, and NEVER subs them out. If their lab results are not trusted in a court of law, should you trust them in your home?
• We offer at home or professional DNA collection of your court admissible DNA testing. This is the cheapest option for your legal DNA testing.
• We do not play bait & switch, compare what we offer "Apples To Apples" to what they do, and we're certain you'll agree we offer the best sibling testing service at the lowest prices.

Our lab's AABB accredited legal tests are admissible in court, and accept by ICE/INS for immigration services. What good would it serve you to save a few dollars on DNA testing, and yet risk receiving false results?

REMEMBER IF THE COURTS DO NOT TRUST THEIR RESULTS, SHOULD YOU??

The DNA Collection Process Is Very Easy:

Our simple do-it-yourself at home sibling test collects DNA samples by simply swabbing the inside of the cheeks with a special swab (like a large Q-Tip). This is easy, quick, and painless. The Home DNA Test Kit comes complete with easy to follow illustrated instructions, collection apparatuses for each person, and a consent form to be filled out with information about each family member providing a sample. The cheek swab test takes about 10-15 minutes for 2 people, with an additional 15-20 minutes for the swabs to dry. We also have a DNA collection kit for blood sampling method “pin prick”. (NOTE: Blood is the best option for International Orders)

If you have a special case, such as involving a deceased relative, we can also use whole blood and/or other tissue samples. We can arrange for the DNA samples to be delivered to us from the County Medical Examiner's Office in your area.  Further, if you're unable to openly collect a DNA sample, then many items such as a toothbrush or hair, may be submitted to compile a DNA analysis of the person in question.

When Should You Purchase A Legal Sibling DNA Test?

If the reason for your siblingship DNA test is solely for curiosity, then our home non-legal sibling DNA test is right for you.  If you think however, that the results may be required in a court of law, or that you may need the results to enforce child support or visitation, then you may want to consider getting a legal siblingship test instead for a small additional cost.  

Some laboratories go through great lengths to inflate both the cost and explanation of what exactly is a legal sibling test. An AABB accredited lab performs a legal & non-legal test using the same proven protocols. The basic difference being that in a legal test, each person is clearly identified in the presence of a witness as part of the DNA collection process. Simply stated, in order for a sibling DNA test to be valid in a court of law, it must meet (2) basic criteria.

• 1st the test must be performed by an AABB accredited laboratory
• 2nd the test sample collection must be witnessed by a third party non-interested bystander (This is commonly referred to as "Chain Of Custody") 

In fact, if you do your homework, you'll discover that most small labs refer their legal tests to other labs that are in fact AABB accredited.   They try to mislead you to believe they do their own tests, but they are prohibited if they are not accredited, leaving them no other option but to broker out the test.  Our lab is fully accredited by the AABB, and you can go check it out for yourself by following this link to the AABB Site. We are listed as the Genetic Testing Laboratories in Las Cruces New Mexico, and are physically located on the campus of New Mexico State University (NMSU). You can reach us toll free at (877) 786-9543.

Many folks order a non-legal test, but later find themselves needing to go to court as a result of the findings.   Usually they  have another test performed that meets the "Chain Of Custody" requirements of the courts making it admissible.  Our competitors' legal sibling tests often range in price from $350.00-$750.00, but we only charge $275.00, which is only $125.00 more than the non-legal test.
