What is a DNA Maternity Test?
A DNA maternity test determines the biological relationship between a woman and a child. While paternity tests are more common, maternity tests are essential in cases involving:
- Adoption Reunions: Confirming biological links after years of separation.
- Immigration: Proving biological relationships for visa and citizenship applications.
- Hospital Mix-ups: Resolving concerns regarding baby identity at birth.
- Surrogacy: Confirming that the correct embryo was implanted.
How it Works
The test analyzes specific genetic markers (loci) in the DNA of both individuals. According to WHO and international laboratory standards, a biological mother must share 50% of her DNA with her child. If the genetic markers match, the probability of maternity is typically 99.9% or higher.
