Overview
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.

Sample Collection
No special preparation is required. However, it is essential to provide valid identification and sign consent documents. Inform the laboratory if you have had a bone marrow transplant or blood transfusion in the past 6 months.
Method: Cheek swab or venipuncture
Laboratory Analysis
For buccal swab, a sterile swab is rubbed inside the cheek for 30 seconds. For blood sample, a standard venipuncture is performed. The procedure is quick and painless.
Report Delivery
No restrictions. You can resume normal activities immediately. Results will be available within 10 days via online portal, email, or WhatsApp.

Understanding Your Results
H
Common in Europe, associated with Western Eurasian ancestry.
U
Found in Europe and South Asia, ancient lineage.
T
Associated with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern populations.
K

Consult a genetic counselor or healthcare provider if you have a family history of mitochondrial disorders, are planning a pregnancy, or need help interpreting your haplogroup results.
Limitations
- ⚠Cannot determine paternal lineage
- ⚠Does not provide information on autosomal DNA
- ⚠May not distinguish between very closely related haplogroups
- ⚠Results are probabilistic for deep ancestry
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk of bruising at blood draw site
- ●No genetic risks associated with the test itself
Interfering Factors
- ●Contamination of sample with foreign DNA
- ●Improper storage or transport of sample
- ●Recent blood transfusion (for blood samples)
- ●Bone marrow transplant from a different maternal lineage
