At DNA Testing New Jersey Center, our team of consultants acknowledges the sensitive and emotionally layered nature of Sibling DNA testing. They are dedicated to providing compassionate guidance and accurate results to help all involved parties resolve paternity questions with clarity and confidence.
What is Sibling DNA Testing?
A sibling test is a test that determines whether two persons share one or both parents. This testing option can be used when a father or mother is unavailable to participate in DNA parentage testing.
Testing Types:
- Full vs Unrelated: For individuals who may share both biological parents. Often used by adoptees.
- Half vs. Unrelated DNA Test: Recommended when alleged siblings are sure they share one parent (usually mother). Including mothers’ DNA samples improves accuracy in determining relatedness.
- Half vs Full DNA Testing: For siblings who thought they shared one parent but may share both. Including the common parent is recommended if available.

Are Sibling DNA Test results accurate?
Yes. Sibling DNA Testing is performed with high accuracy, but it’s important to note that these tests are not as accurate as paternity or maternity tests.
Key points to understand:
- Parents and children share approximately 50% of their DNA.
- Aunts/uncles share about 25% of their DNA with nieces and nephews.
- This difference in shared DNA affects the accuracy of the tests.
While the accuracy of the tested DNA samples is high, and all samples are analyzed by our AABB-accredited partner laboratory meeting industry standards, the nature of the genetic relationship impacts the overall test accuracy.
Will siblings have the same blood type?
No, siblings will not necessarily have the same blood type. Blood type is determined by specific genes inherited from parents, and siblings can inherit different combinations of these genes.
