Sibling DNA Tests for Personal Information
With our sibling DNA tests, we can determine if individuals are half-siblings, full-siblings, or unrelated.
We strongly recommend that the mother(s) as well as the siblings participates in the testing as this really helps with the final results interpretation and makes the results so much more conclusive.

Twin DNA Test for Personal Information
Using DNA testing technology, we can determine whether twins are fraternal or identical.
We test the DNA samples from twins to determine if they are genetically identical at all the DNA markers, or if they have similar but different DNA profiles as is expected with full-siblings (i.e non-identical twins). This produces extremely accurate results which will conclusively determine if twins are identical or not.
Our at-home, personal information twin DNA test kits are dispatched by Royal Mail first class post.
Grandparentage DNA Tests for Personal Information
With our grandparent DNA tests, we can determine if individuals are related as grandparent and grandchild.
We strongly recommend that the mother of the child participates in the testing as this really helps with the final results interpretation and makes the results so much more conclusive. The mother is included at no extra cost.

With our avuncular, aunt/uncle DNA tests, we can determine if individuals are related as niece/nephew and aunt/uncle.
We strongly recommend that the mother of the child participates in the testing as this really helps with the final results interpretation and makes the results so much more conclusive. The mother is included at no extra cost.

Peace Of Mind Versus Personal Information DNA Tests
Our DNA tests are for personal information only. We are aware that such tests are often called peace of mind DNA tests or DNA tests for peace of mind.
Since the result of a DNA test may not give you peace of mind, depending on your circumstances and as per ethical guidelines, at dadcheck®silver we generally prefer to use the alternative “personal information DNA testing”.
