Maternal Lineage DNA Test in Tbilisi
The Molecular Genetics Center «DTL» specializes in establishing paternity and all types of kinship. To determine kinship through the maternal line, you can take a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) test. This DNA is located outside the chromosomes (in the mitochondria, the organelles of eukaryotic cells) and is passed from mother to all children, regardless of whether they are boys or girls.
In subsequent generations, only daughters can pass it on, although they may pass it to children of any gender. For sons, the mtDNA, present in small quantities in sperm, degrades upon fertilization of the egg. This is why the test is known as the maternal lineage test. The accuracy of this method reaches 99.999999% in confirming kinship.
To ensure absolute accuracy of the DNA analysis results for the maternal line, the laboratory do parallel tests by two different groups of specialists. The results are then certified with the laboratory director’s signature and official stamp.

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.
