A Home Grandparent Test Kit In Louisiana Has No Restrictions, Unlike Some Other States.
A DNA grandparent test can be conducted for either peace-of-mind, or for judicial or other other legal reasons. There is no change in the outcome in Louisiana, due to the ridgid criteria required by our partner AABB accredited laboratory. DNA findings from home kits may not be recognized in a judicial setting however, because there is no objective confirmation of whose DNA was taken. When a chain-of-custody DNA test is done, the DNA samples are collected by a qualified professional collector who can verify the identity of those being tested.
