mtDNA Test (X-Sv Maternal Lineage Test)
mtDNA testing to determine whether two or more people share the same maternal lineage.
The mtDNA test is based on the mitochondrial DNA sequence variation that is passed on from females to their offspring. Through this test we can determine if two or more people are related through their maternal lineage. The test can be used as a DNA test for siblings to confirm if siblings (male or female) share the same biological mother.
As in the Y-Chromosome, mitochondrial DNA has an infrequent mutation rate throughout the generations.
Males do not pass the X-SV they inherited from their mother to their children. The test cannot establish the type of relationship between the people being tested (eg. aunt, niece, grandmother, nephew, mother etc..) but only that they share a common maternal line.
The cost of this test starts from as little as $799. The price of the DNA test will change if more people require testing. Results are normally available between 19 to 21 business days.
