DNA testing to determine your family history

Genealogical DNA testing is used to determine your family history, ancestral make-up or the country of origin. What Is DNA? Everyone’s DNA structure is unique and it is formed by 46 chromosomes at the time of conception. It may similar for identical twins but not for anyone else. Once formed, it won’t change throughout the life. Each individual carries a special genetic molecule called as mitochondrial DNA and Maternity DNA test (mtDNA) which is inherited entirely from mother’s side. DNA test contains an analysis of mtDNA or Y-chromosome which is exclusively inherited from a biological father in case of a male child. What Is Genealogical Testing? A genealogical DNA test inspects the nucleotides at specific locations for genetic genealogy purposes on a person's DNA. It is not carried out to collect informative medical value nor a genetic disease or disorder. It is meant to provide only genealogical or personal ancestry information. It is carried out using cheek...

DNA test is used to determine a biological relationship between two or more persons. There are various types of relationship DNA tests such as paternity, maternity, ancestry, sibling-ship, kinship and grandparent DNA test . DNA grandparent test can be very helpful in establishing relationships between a grandchild and grandparents. If a child's alleged father is not available and grandparents want to confirm the biological origin of a child, DNA grandparents test is used. A child inherits half of the genes from both the parents and if one parent is not available, grandparent’s DNA is used to determine whether they have contributed anything. Grandparent DNA Testing is not as definite as maternity or paternity analysis and used only when DNA paternity or maternity is not possible to perform. By comparing a grandparent, grandfather or grandmother, to the child, we prefer to add the mother of the child in the case initially to mitigate the likelihood of an inconclusive...

Maternity DNA Test and It's Application

Maternity DNA Test and It's Application Maternity DNA tests are conducted to determine biological relationship between a mother and her child. In this test, our experts at DNA Diagnostics and Genetic Center India analyses the DNA pattern of the alleged mother and compare it with the child’s DNA. If the match occurs at nearly 50% then the biological relationship has been authorized. If the biological father also participates in the test, half of the child’s DNA is excluded and the remaining is compared with the alleged mother. In the absence of the father, we conduct “fatherless maternity DNA test” which includes a deeper and comprehensive analyses without compromising the accuracy of DNA test results. Maternity DNA Tests may prove to be helpful in many situations: To prove biological relationships in immigration cases. In IVF pregnancy to determine whether the embryo conceived was implanted into the correct mother’s womb. In surrogacy to determine the child is...
