Relationship DNA Testing
Accurate Grandparentage DNA Testing
Services
Grandparentage DNA testing is used to determine if one
grandparent or both grandparents are biologically related to a
child. DNA samples from the individuals are compared almost like a
standard paternity test. Boston Paternity provides accurate results
to grandparentage testing in as little as 3-5 days.
There are a number of reasons for determining
grandparentage:
- Social Security Benefits
- Estate Planning
- Inheritance Claims
- Immigration DNA Testing
- Father is unavailable for testing
Whatever the reason for the test you can be certain the results
you get are accurate and confidential. Contact us to schedule your
Grandparentage DNA test.
Accurate Maternity Testing Services
A maternity test is similar to a paternity test. It will prove
whether a woman is the biological mother of a child. DNA from a
potential mother is compared with a child's DNA. The results of the
Maternity DNA test will show definitively if the woman is the
biological mother. There is less of a need for maternity testing
than for paternity testing. However, Boston Paternity has handled
hundreds of maternity DNA tests for some of the following
purposes:
- Adoption Reunification
- Adoption Rights Relinquishment
- Immigration Maternity DNA Testing
- Baby Mix-Up in the Hospital.
The key to Boston Paternity's maternity test is accuracy. Each
maternity test is run twice to guarantee accuracy.
The testing process for a maternity test involves only the
mother and the child. The collection is simple and painless, and BP
has a DNA collection location near you.
Sibling DNA Testing Provides Accurate Results
Many individuals are unsure about who their siblings are. No
matter what reason Boston Paternity gives you accurate results for
siblings. The Sibling DNA Test is a definitive way to determine
biological relationships.
Boston Paternity uses the most up-to-date DNA technology to
prove kinship. You have two options for sibling testing.
Full Sibling vs. Half Sibling
If you and your sibling know you share one parent but are unsure
if you share the other, then a Full Sibling vs. Half Sibling is the
appropriate DNA test for you. If your mothers are known and
available, then they should be tested for the greatest accuracy.
Boston Paternity will guide you and your sibling through the
testing process from start to finish and beyond. You will be
assigned a personal case manager who will schedule DNA collection
appointments at a location near your home or office. View our DNA
Testing Locations. The DNA siblingship test will provide you with
peace of mind and the results are court-admissible if needed.
Half Sibling vs. Unrelated
If you and your sibling are unsure if you share a biological
parent, then a Half Sibling vs. Unrelated is the appropriate DNA
test for you. Having your mother tested will produce the most
accurate results, but results can be obtained without your mother's
participation. When you call Boston Paternity to schedule an
appointment you will be assigned a personal case manager. Your case
manager will find a DNA testing location near your home or office.

provide you with peace of mind, and the results are
court-admissible if needed.
Twin DNA Testing Determines Identical or Fraternal
Twin DNA Testing will provide you with definitive proof of
whether you are a fraternal or an identical twin. About one in
every fifty Americans is a twin. Statistics show that two-thirds of
twins are fraternal and one-third are identical.
Twin classification done at a birthing hospital is often
misleading. Research shows that 25-33% of identical twins have two
sets of chorionic membranes. Without a Twin DNA Test it is
difficult to accurately determine whether twins are identical or
fraternal. DNA results from a Twin DNA test can be used to provide
peace of mind, and they can also be used to assist with future
health issues. An identical twin makes an excellent organ
donor.
Identical Twins
Identical twins are formed when one egg is fertilized by a
single sperm cell and then divides within the first few days of
pregnancy. If division of the egg occurs after 8 days, this can
result in conjoined twins, also known as Siamese twins. They are
called identical twins because their DNA sequence is identical.
While the twins are identical genetically, this often does not
apply to the actual physical or behavioral traits. Often identical
twins have similar physical traits, but they can differ in some
cases.
Fraternal Twins
Fraternal twins are formed when two eggs are independently
fertilized by two sperm cells. Fraternal twins have half of their
DNA in common, just like siblings of the same parents that are born
at different times. Fraternal twins can either be of the same sex
or different sex. The number of fraternal twins varies a lot in
different locations throughout the world. Fraternal twins are
common in the pregnancies of older women, especially common in
Africans, and relatively rare among those of Asian heritage.
