Hi Ian
You would be best to contact the paternity testing labs as they
do the risk calculations on very closely matched individuals and this is
generally not an NHS funded activity. You can find any number of service providers
if you google “paternity tests UK”.
However your patients may want some guidance which company to go
to and they could try
Northgene in Newcastle since they are relatively close to York
see:
http://www.paternitytesting.co.uk/
Complement Genomics are also local in Sunderland but I’m
not clear if they can offer sib testing which Northgene can do

hope this helps
kind regards

Dear
all
We
have had an enquiry about DNA testing to determine if two people are indeed
biological siblings.
Could anyone
recommend a laboratory in the UK who may do this sort of testing? They are
happy to pay for the tests.
Kind
regards
