The 18 Marker Ethnic Panel checks your lab report for 18 distinctive numerical values scattered through your genetic material. These markers were discovered by DNA Consultants and have been linked to early human migrations branching out of Africa into Asia, Native America and Europe, as shown on our map.

ETHNIC MARKERS WE SEARCH FOR IN YOUR DNA

Your report will tell you if you have the marker from one parent, from both, or from neither. Of course, it is not possible to say which parent you get a marker from, and the fact that you do not have a marker does not mean that you lack that ancestry.

The 18 Marker Ethnic Panel can be useful for revealing whether previous testing produced a "false positive" for Sub-Saharan African, Asian or other unexpected results, as well as confirming Native American and other types.   

Order the 18 Marker Ethnic Marker with your DNA Fingerprint Test or separately if you have already taken the test or have your CODIS markers from another lab.
