RELATIONSHIP TEST
The procedure involves collecting and examining DNA samples from the alleged mother and the child. You can have samples collected at our office or from the comfort of your home.
Maternity testing specifically seeks to determine if a mother-child relationship exists between two individuals. This is done by looking for matches in genetic markers between the concerned individuals to determine how likely it is that a parent-child relationship exists between them.
The test involves collecting samples (a simple mouth swab, or a toothbrush where discretion is needed) from the alleged mother and the child. Including the alleged father's sample is optional and can strengthen the analysis in some cases.
At Smart DNA, your collected DNA samples are tested and reviewed in a laboratory accredited to the highest international standard, ISO 9001. We understand that maternity questions can be sensitive; this is why we ensure the testing process is carried out in a confidential manner.
Here is a step by step procedure on how to book a Maternal / Maternity DNA Test at Smart DNA.
