mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) analysis in Atyrau
The Molecular Genetic Center «DTL» specializes in the field of DNA research. To establish kinship through maternal lineage, you can conduct a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) comparison 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 is present in small amounts in spermatozoa but 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 mtDNA analysis results, the laboratory conducts two parallel tests by different groups of specialists. Then the results are verified with the signature of the Lab Manager and the laboratory seal.

How to do Mitochondrial DNA Analysis
The process of collecting a DNA sample from participants for an mtDNA comparison analysis is completely painless and takes about 4-6 minutes. Commonly, the DNA sample used in the genetic test is an oral swab taken with a cotton swab (cheek buccal epithelium sampling), also called a saliva test (standard cheek-swab samples).
If it is not possible, for some reason, to obtain a standard sample, it is possible to collect other samples, which are called NON-standard samples: blood, cigarette butts, hair, any biological stains and liquids, nails, cutlery, etc. See a detailed list with descriptions here.
