Accurate, Discreet, and Fast DNA Testing to Confirm Full or Half Sibling Relationships

When you need answers about biological relationships, a sibling DNA test can provide the clarity you’re looking for. This test helps determine whether two individuals share one or both biological parents — especially useful when the alleged father or mother is unavailable for direct testing.

At AssureDNA, we make the process simple, discreet, and accurate, with results typically ready within the next working day from receiving your samples.

 

What Is a Sibling DNA Test?

A sibling DNA test compares the genetic profiles of two or more individuals to assess the likelihood that they share the same biological parent(s). There are two main types:

  • Half-sibling DNA test – Determines if two people share one biological parent.
  • Full-sibling DNA test – Determines if they share both biological parents.

Adding the mother’s DNA (if available) can further improve the accuracy of results.

 

When Is a Sibling DNA Test Useful?

Sibling DNA testing is often chosen when:

  • One or both parents are unavailable or unwilling to participate in DNA testing.
  • Families are looking to confirm biological relationships for peace of mind.
  • Legal cases require proof of family relationships (e.g., inheritance disputes, immigration).
