DNA Maternity Testing helps determine the true biological mother of a child. It works like a DNA 

paternity test, except this analysis compares a child’s DNA profile with their mother’s. At Lynx DNA Laboratory, we use mitochondrial DNA testing method that guarantees over 99.9% accuracy for maternity inclusions.

Our DNA Maternity Test in Nigeria is available at our Lagos office and a network of accredited DNA Test Centers in Abuja, Calabar, Benin, Port Harcourt, Aba among other states across the country.

DNA Maternity Tests are mostly required to prove biological relationships for immigration purposes. Besides, if in-vitro fertilization was involved in a child’s birth, a maternity test is required to confirm the real mother. 

Besides, if a baby mix-up happens in a hospital and the staff cannot identify the real mother of a child, a DNA maternity test can be used to confirm the biological mothers of babies in dispute. 

Maternity DNA Test is genetic profiling that compares DNA of a child with the alleged mother to determine the true biological mother. Half of a child’s DNA is from the mother, while the other half is from the father. For the test  to successfully determine the true biological mother of a child, both child and mother are tested. 

A DNA sample is collected at your preferred location, using buccal swabs (mouth swabs) and sent to our laboratory for testing. When testing is complete, you will receive a full laboratory report certifying the results of your DNA Maternity Test.

A DNA Maternity Test can be done at the most convenient time for the client except if mandated by a law court, depending on the circumstances surrounding the request for the test. For instance,an adopted child or one born through IVF can use a DNA Maternity Test to ascertain his/her true biological mother after reuniting with the supposed mother.
