Mt-DNA Mitochondrial DNA Test

X-SV maternal lineage test - Testing to determine whether two or more people are related through their maternal lineage

This test can be used to determine whether two or more people are related through their maternal lineage, or if male and/or female children have the same biological mother. The test is based on the Mitochondrial DNA sequence variation that is passed from females to their siblings. Since this has a relatively infrequent mutation rate, it will remain the same through various generations. Males do not pass the X-SV they inherited from their mother to their children.

This DNA test therefore focuses on the Mitochondrial DNA and the result is based on the generation of a unique X-SV profile for each person tested. It is important to highlight that this test will not differentiate women from the same maternal lineage or children that have the same mother.
