mtDNA Test (X-Sv Maternal Lineage Test)
MtDNA testing can be used to determine whether two or more people share a common maternal line.
The mtDNA test is based on the Mitochondrial DNA sequence variation that is passed on from females to their offspring. The cost of the DNA test is CAD $599.
An mtDNA test can determine if two or more people are related through their maternal lineage. The test can be used as a sibling DNA test confirm if the siblings (male or female) share the same biological mother.
As in the Y-Chromosome, Mitochondrial DNA has an infrequent mutation rate.
Males do not pass their mitochondrial DNA they inherited from their mother to their children. It is also important to note that the test cannot tell you the type of relationship (aunt, niece, nephew, grandmother etc) between the people being test, only that they share the same maternal line.
The cost of this test starts from as little as $599 and depends on how many people are tested. Results are normally available between 19 to 21 business days.
