This test is used to support or disprove a direct maternal connectionbetween 2 or more participants (male or female).
The mtDNA comparison DNA test, also known as a maternal lineage test, can confirm your relationship to long-lost relatives and possible ancestors through the maternal/female line. It can also provide additional information for situations where maternity is in question, but the mother is unavailable for a maternity test–although maternity itself can't be determined, we can determine the child's relationship to a possible maternal relative.
The testing process is simple—the samples are taken using a painless buccal (cheek) swab, and testing is completed in 2–3 weeks. We can either send you a testing kit to collect your DNA samples at home, or if your testing has legal implications, we can use a Chain of Custody collection process where your samples will be taken by a trained professional in a laboratory or clinic.
