Overview
The Maternal Lineage X-SV DNA Test is a specialized genetic analysis that examines the X-SV region of mitochondrial DNA, which is inherited exclusively from the mother. This test determines an individual's maternal haplogroup, tracing their maternal ancestry back thousands of years. It is valuable for genealogical research, understanding ethnic origins, and identifying potential genetic risks associated with certain mitochondrial mutations. The test is performed using a simple buccal swab or blood sample, ensuring a non-invasive and convenient process. At DNA Labs India, we provide accurate and reliable results with a turnaround time of 10 days. The test costs Rs 24000 and includes free home sample collection across major cities in India. Whether you are exploring your heritage or planning a family, this test offers essential insights into your genetic makeup.

The primary purpose of the Maternal Lineage X-SV DNA Test is to identify an individual's maternal haplogroup by analyzing the X-SV region of mitochondrial DNA. This helps in tracing maternal ancestry, confirming familial relationships, and understanding population migration patterns. Additionally, it can reveal susceptibility to certain mitochondrial disorders, aiding in medical management and reproductive planning.
