When questions about biological relationships arise, they can disrupt your peace and leave you in a state of uncertainty. Whether it’s a personal doubt, a family mystery, or a need for closure, Peace of Mind DNA tests offer private, accurate answers from the comfort of your home. Here’s your complete guide to every type of relationship test available in India.
What Are Peace of Mind DNA Tests?
These are informational, non-legal DNA tests conducted for personal knowledge. They use the same accurate lab technology as legal tests but are self-administered, private, and cannot be used in court. They are designed to give you clarity without formal procedures.
1. Paternity DNA Test
The most sought-after test to confirm if a man is the biological father of a child.
How it works: Cheek swabs from alleged father and child.
Accuracy: 99.9%+ for inclusion, 100% for exclusion.
Best for: Personal confirmation without legal hassle.
2. Maternity DNA Test
Confirms if a woman is the biological mother of a child. Useful in cases of IVF, surrogacy, adoption, or personal reassurance.
How it works: Cheek swabs from mother and child.
Common scenarios: Doubts after hospital births, IVF embryo mix-up concerns, adoption reunions.
3. Parental DNA Test
A combined test to verify both biological parents at once.
How it works: Samples from child, alleged father, and alleged mother.
Advantage: Eliminates all parental doubts simultaneously.
4. Avuncular DNA Test (Aunt/Uncle Test)
Determines if an individual is the biological niece/nephew of the tested aunt or uncle. Often used when the alleged father is unavailable.
How it works: Cheek swabs from the child, the aunt/uncle, and preferably one known parent.
Use case: Establishing paternal family links indirectly.
5. Grandparents DNA Test
Establishes a biological relationship between a child and their alleged grandparents. Useful when parents are not available for testing.
How it works: Samples from child and both grandparents (or one, though less conclusive).
Best for: Inheritance claims, family reunification, or posthumous paternity questions.
6. Sibling DNA Test
Determines if two individuals are full siblings, half-siblings, or unrelated.
Types:
- Full vs. Half Sibling Test: Checks if they share both parents or one.
- Siblingship Test: General biological connection analysis.
Common for: Adoption reunions, inheritance disputes, or personal family discovery.
7. Hospital Baby Swap / Maternity Verification Test
Addresses the fear or suspicion of accidental baby mix-up in the hospital after delivery.
How it works: Tests the newborn against both claimed parents.
Result: Confirms if the child is biologically related to both parents, ruling out a swap.
8. Pregnancy Paternity DNA (Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity)
Important Note: This test is currently not legally permitted in India due to ethical and legal guidelines surrounding fetal testing. The information below is for awareness.
What it is: Determines paternity before birth using a maternal blood draw (which contains fetal DNA).
Status in India: Banned for commercial use. Only allowed in specific medical/legal cases with court approval.
Alternative in India: Post-birth paternity testing after delivery.
