Grandparentage
- Paternal and Maternal Grandparents
Uncle/Aunt - Nephew/Niece
Cousins
Blood relatives of the same or previous generation have a
pattern of shared genes. The probability of blood relationships
can be established by analyzing:
Autosomal genes -inherited
in part from their parents and grandparents and shared among
blood relatives
The reliability of the test
results can be reinforced by analyzing the:
X & Y-chromosomes
Hypervariable regions of mitochondrial
DNA
In view of the above, the
analytical results can be strengthened by comparing the DNA
profiles of other relatives.
Lineage Analysis
Paternal Lineage
- by Y-chromosome analysis
Maternal Lineage
- by mitochondrial DNA analysis
Turn
around time- 5
to 10 working days after receiving the samples, depending on
the number of tests needed.
