mtDNA stands for mitochondrial DNA and is also known as a maternal lineage test. It determines whether two or more individuals are biological related through their maternal line or not and is widely used in situations where there has been an adoption and the mother is missing or unable to participate the test.
We trace a person’s maternal ancestry far back in time and are useful for men or women who wish to confirm their maternal ancestry. This test is used often for genealogy and medical researchers to confirm the presence of genetic vulnerability to certain diseases.
