Our Premium Female Test analyzes your matrilineal descent from the earliest humans to the present, by testing the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) passed to you by your mother. Your mtDNA is screened for differences on two control regions known as HVRI and HVRII. The resulting "mutations" define your maternal lineage (the DNA of your mother, her mother and so forth, all the way back). Your mtDNA mutations are researched in the Cambridge Mitochondrial DNA Concordance, Mitosearch, and other authoritative databases. A history of your particular female lineage is presented as part of the report, with comparative frequencies in world populations. Who Can Take the Female Test Females can takes this test as well as males. How the Test Works We will send you a Premium Female sample collection kit containing two cheek swabs and instructions for collection. You will then send the samples back to our laboratory via the prepaid shipping pack. The laboratory provides the genetic testing, and we will analyze and interpret the results. Testing takes approximately four to six (4-6) weeks from the time the lab receives your samples. Your electronic report is delivered to you by email within about another week. It includes: • Laboratory analysis of your mitochondrial DNA • Comparison of your mtDNA against world databases • Determination whether your mitochondrial lineage is Eurasian, Native American, Asian or African • History and description of your particular female lineage (haplotype) • References and resources for further information • FAQs and complete access to our Learning Center • Hyperlinked terms for easy lookup online • One-click access to websites mentioned in your report • Certificate of Testing • Unlimited help online and by email or phone so that you can understand and use your ancestry report • Instructions how to enter your DNA results into relevant databases, if you so choose • Our free DNA-in-the-news newsletter, if you wish to subscribe to it Other Female Test Options You can also take our Basic Female Test, which analyzes only against HVRI and provides less data. Please inquire. Report Only Have you already received the lab results of an mtDNA test? You can send them to us and receive the analysis only. Visit our Reports Only page to learn more. Optional Services – Add these onto your order when you check out. • Linkage Disequilibrium You can add the Linkage Disequilibrium Report onto your Premium Female Test, if you like. There are over 4,000 genetically linked diseases known to medical science, and many of these occur with greater frequency in certain ethnic groups than in others. Many are mitochondrial in transmission, with important consequences for family medical history. Our Linkage Disequilibrium Report lists studies relating to genetic disorders linked to your particular female (mtDNA) haplotype. This report is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease but is intended for information only. • Paper Copy You can also opt to receive a hard copy of your report and materials, mailed to you.

I was very impressed with the thoroughness and scientific data of my matrilineal ancestry report. It has been difficult to discover much about my grandmother's line and DNA Consultants has managed to unlock doors that I never would have been able to open. Female lines are often shortchanged in this field. Thank you DNA Consultants for your service for all of us...
