Maternal Lineage DNA Test in Moscow
The Molecular-Genetic Center «DTL» specializes in the field of establishing paternity and kinship of all kinds. To establish kinship through maternal lineage, you can conduct a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) test. This DNA is contained outside of chromosomes (in mitochondria, organelles of eukaryotic cells) and is passed down from the mother to all children, regardless of whether they are male or female. In subsequent generations, it can only be passed down by daughters, but again to a child of any gender. In sons, mtDNA, which is present in small amounts in spermatozoa, degrades during fertilization of the egg. Therefore, this test is referred to as maternal lineage. The accuracy of this method reaches 99.999999% for confirming kinship.
For absolute accuracy of the DNA analysis on the maternal lineage, the laboratory conducts parallel analysis by different groups of specialists. Then the results are verified with the signature of the Lab Manager and the laboratory seal.

How to take Maternal Lineage DNA Test
The process of taking DNA samples from participants is completely painless and takes about 4-6 minutes. Often, the DNA sample used for this genetic test is a buccal swab taken with a cotton swab (cheek epithelial cell collection), also known as a saliva test (standard DNA sample).
If it is not possible to take a standard sample, alternative samples can be used (non-standard). These include blood, paraffin blocks, cigarette butts, hair, various biological stains and fluids, nails, cutlery, and more. For a detailed list and descriptions click here.
