1. Detailed information about the DNA test (test principle)<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n

The maternity test<\/strong> is based on the analysis of human genetic material, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is a linear molecule found in the nuclei of cells, where we examine segments called STR systems or markers<\/strong>. These vary in length among different individuals. The length of a segment is called an allele and is represented by a number. Each individual has two alleles of a given system, with the child always inheriting one from the mother and the other from the father. In each system, the child must have one allele that is the same as the biological mother\u2019s. In this test, we examine a basic set of 16 STR markers<\/strong>, plus one additional segment used to determine the genetic sex of the sample\u2019s origin.<\/p>\n

To perform the maternity test, samples are taken from both the child and the alleged mother<\/strong> via a buccal swab (mouth swab) using a collection kit (1 for the tested woman and 1 for the tested child), which we will send to you, or using non-standard material.<\/p>\n

If you want to test multiple individuals at once (children, potential mothers, or add a father), it is possible to add additional tested individuals to your order for an extra charge.<\/p>\n

The collected samples consist of epithelial cells, which contain DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). In our accredited genetic laboratory, DNA is then extracted from the cells and subjected to thorough and precise analysis using the most modern methods. The child's DNA profile is then compared with the alleged mother's DNA profile and statistically evaluated. Since every child inherits their genetic information from both biological parents, the examination of the DNA of the tested individuals accurately determines the probability of whether the alleged mother is the biological mother of the child (more than 99.9%) or 0% (in the case of exclusion).<\/p>\n

The result of the DNA test is a simple report<\/strong> that either definitively excludes<\/strong> maternity or confirms it as practically proven.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Who is this test suitable for?<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is suitable for anyone who has personal doubts or questions about biological parenthood concerning a specific child and wants to verify the biological relationship first.<\/p>\n

3. How will the DNA test result help me, and what will I learn?<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Confirmation or exclusion of maternity<\/strong>: The primary result of the test is to determine whether the tested woman is the biological mother of the child. The result is typically presented either as the probability of maternity (e.g., 99.9% or higher to confirm maternity) or exclusion of maternity (probability of 0%).<\/p>\n
