DNA Grandparent Test (At-Home Self-Collection) – Confirm Biological Family Relationship in Kenya

⭐ Private • Accurate • Convenient
The DNA Grandparent (GP) Test helps determine whether a child is biologically related to
alleged grandparents. It is commonly used when the alleged father is deceased, unavailable, or
cannot be tested. Samples are collected using painless cheek swabs at home, returned for
laboratory analysis, and results are shared securely.

⭐ Why Choose This Test?
• Establish family relationships when direct paternity testing is not possible
• Non-invasive cheek swab – safe for infants, adults, and elderly participants
• Laboratory analysis using multiple DNA markers for strong accuracy
• Discreet home collection
• Clear probability-based results
⚠️ Important for best accuracy:
For the highest level of confidence, we strongly recommend including the child’s mother in the
test.
This allows the laboratory to “filter out” the maternal DNA contribution, making it easier to
compare the remaining paternal markers with the grandparents.

⭐ What This Test Detects (Granular Explanation)
Grandparent–Grandchild Biological Relationship
This test compares specific DNA markers between:
 The child
 One or both alleged grandparents
 (Optional but recommended) the child’s mother
The laboratory calculates:
Likelihood Ratio (LR)
Shows how strongly the DNA evidence supports a biological relationship.
Probability of Relationship (%)
Provides a percentage estimate of the biological relationship.
Higher percentages indicate stronger support for a genetic link.

⭐ How to Prepare for the Test
• No fasting required
• Avoid eating, drinking, smoking, chewing gum, or brushing teeth for 30 minutes before
swabbing
• Wash hands before handling swabs
• Ensure each participant uses the correct labeled swab
Do not stop or change any medication unless advised by a qualified healthcare professional.
