This test can be used to determine if two individuals are related to each other as aunt–nephew (or niece) or as uncle–nephew (or niece).
This test compares the DNA from a child to the DNA of their biological mother, as well as the DNA from one full sibling of the child’s alleged father. This is an indirect test to determine a biological relationship; this type of testing can be useful when an alleged father is unable or unwilling to participate in a paternity test. Unlike paternity DNA testing. Avuncular testing is an index based on the genetic material of particular individuals. For example, if the index value is lower than 1 it means there is no relation between two people and in the case of a high value 1 it indicates a biological relation. As the value goes higher, the probability will be stronger.
