How It Works
What Does a Siblingship DNA Test Look At?
A siblingship DNA test measures how much genetic material two people share and calculates the likelihood that they are biological siblings. An AABB accredited lab tests 20 or more genetic markers in each individual and compares how similar the two samples are.
This leads to the calculation of a siblingship index — which states the likelihood of two people sharing one parent, two parents, or no parents at all. A higher index means stronger evidence of a shared parent. At Odosek Lab Solutions, we walk clients through every number in the report so you leave with clear answers, not confusion.
We offer two types: full sibling testing (both parents shared) and half sibling testing (one parent shared). Results are even stronger when a known parent’s sample — usually the mother — is included. Call us at 803-766-0036 to discuss your specific situation.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a siblingship DNA test and how does it work?
A siblingship DNA test measures how much genetic material two people share to find the likelihood they are biological siblings. At Odosek Lab Solutions, we use an AABB accredited lab that compares 20 or more genetic markers from each person. The result is called a siblingship index. A higher index means stronger evidence of a shared parent. We walk you through every number in the report so you leave with clear answers.
Do I need to come to a lab for siblingship DNA testing in Columbia?
No, you never need to travel anywhere for your test. Odosek Lab Solutions comes directly to you anywhere in Columbia SC and throughout the Midlands. We can meet you at your home, your workplace, or another location that works for you. We schedule morning, evening, and weekend appointments to fit your life. Call us at 803-766-0036 and we will set everything up.
When would someone need a siblingship DNA test instead of a paternity test?
A siblingship test is the right choice when the father is not available to provide a DNA sample. We regularly hear from Columbia residents where a father has passed away or is unwilling to test. In those cases, testing the siblings directly is the next best option. We also work with individuals near Fort Jackson who need proof of a sibling relationship for military benefits.
Can siblingship DNA results be used in court or for legal purposes?
Yes, siblingship DNA results from an AABB accredited lab can be used for legal purposes. Odosek Lab Solutions follows strict chain of custody procedures, which courts and agencies require. Legal uses in Columbia include immigration cases, Social Security survivor benefits, military benefit claims, and inheritance disputes.
Does including a parent’s DNA sample make siblingship results more accurate?
Yes, adding a known parent’s DNA sample — usually the mother — makes your siblingship results significantly stronger. When the lab can compare the siblings’ DNA against a known parent’s markers, it narrows down which genetic material came from that parent and which came from the other. This makes the siblingship index more conclusive. We recommend including the mother’s sample whenever possible.
What do I need to bring or prepare before my siblingship DNA test appointment?
Very little preparation is needed. Every person being tested needs a valid photo ID. Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking for 30 minutes before the swab. We bring all collection supplies, consent forms, and chain-of-custody paperwork to your location. Both individuals should be present at the same time and place when possible.
Odosek Lab Solutions only uses AABB accredited facilities to conduct legal chain-of-custody testing, with scientific experts that ensure genetic testing results you can trust.
