For Grandfather to Grandson tests,
*About Y-Chromosome tests:
Y-chromosome testing is your least expensive option while
obtaining very high accuracy (99.9%+). Think about the father
of the child (the son of the Grandfather), if this man is
NOT the biological father of his son, then you need know if
there is any possibility that the true biological father was
not a close relative. (ie, could other possible father be
a brother, cousin or other type of close relative to the alledged
father?)
If the answer is no, then a Y-chromosome test is a great
option. All men have one Y chromosome, it is passed down from
Father to Son, woman have no Y-chromosome DNA. Therefore a
Grandfather, his son and his 3 grandsons will all have the
SAME Y-chromosome DNA
For Grandmother to Granddaughter
tests,
*About X-chromosome tests:
X-chromosome testing is your least expensive option while
obtaining very high accuracy (99.9%+). Think about the father
of the child (the son of the Grandfather), if this man is
NOT the biological father of his son, then you need know if
there is any possibility that the true biological father was
not a close relative. (ie, could other possible father be
a brother, cousin or other type of close relative to the alledged
father?)
If the answer is no, then a X-chromosome test is a great
option. All men have one X chromosome, it is passed down from
Father to Daughter, woman have two X-chromosomes. Therefore
a Grandmother, her son, and her 3 Granddaughters will all
have at least one of their X-chromosomes exactly the same.
