Mitochondrial DNA testing or MtDNA testing is the DNA test that can tell you whether individuals share the same maternal line. However, the test does not establish the precise relationships and will not explicitly tell you ‘this woman is your grandmother, this women is your aunt’. However, it provides an accurate way to establish a shared maternal lineage.
The test will seek to map out the X-SR patterns for each of the individuals tested; analysts will the make a comparison between patterns and see the degree of similarity in order to provide the results. MtDNA testing is reliable as it is passed on from mother to both her male and female children and it rarely undergoes any mutations. All females pass on their MtDNA to all their children but males cannot pass it on to their siblings.
The cost of the Mt-DNA (Mitochondrial DNA) Test is €385 with results available in 19-21 working days.
