YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Further Sibling DNA Testing Information
Siblings are brothers and/or sisters. Full-siblings have the same mother and father, while half-siblings share only one parent. A sibling test can be used to confirm whether two, or more children are related and to identify if they share one or both biological parents.
Sibling analysis is not as conclusive as paternity testing and can only report the most likely relationship ‘given the DNA evidence’. The results will provide a statistical likelihood of whether two individuals are true biological relatives, but sibling analysis cannot provide a conclusive result. However, if either of the parents of the siblings who are being assessed are available for testing, this will aid the analysis and may increase the certainty of the result.
Cellmark provides a trusted, court-approved service, delivering accuracy and quality while giving you the reassurance that your testing is in good hands. Our prices start from £324 (+VAT).
Our testing prices include the following - as standard:
