X Chromosome Test

X Chromosome Test
  • To verify if two alleged half-sisters (different mothers) share the same biological father. The reason why they must have different, unrelated mothers is the way the X chromosome is inherited: if two women have one X chromosome in common, it would be impossible to know whether it comes from the father or from the mother's side.
    Note: If two alleged sisters with the same biological mother want to know if they share the same father, they will have to send the mother's sample in order to do the X Chromosome Test.
  • Best option for a test between paternal grandmother and granddaughter.
  • If you wish to know if two alleged sisters also have the same mother, or you are not sure if they have different mothers, you will require a Kinship Test.
  • Accuracy of 99.9%.
X Chromosome Test

How is the X chromosome inherited?

Men have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, while women have two X chromosomes (and no Y chromosome). Men inherit their X chromosome from their mother. Women inherit one from the father and one from the mother. Therefore, the X Chromosome Test can be useful to verify different relationships, on both the paternal and the maternal side.

 

The price indicated above is the final price for the analysis of 2 people with standard samples. If the mother's sample is needed, it will be tested at no additional cost (for 1 mother, standard sample).
