Ancestral Origins Testing

Ancestral Origins Testing

This test will look at a combination of mitochondrial DNA, Y chromosome DNA (males only) and conserved regions throughout your genome to determine your ancestral heritage. Your biological migration is determined by comparing your DNA to that of hundreds of global populations whose genetic information is known and validated. The test includes a large glossy, high resolution map depicting your biological migration. Your ancestral information is broken down into 3 categories: “Population matches”, “Native Region matches”, and “Strength Indicators”. Population matches will compare your DNA to the GeoGenetic Database to determine which anthropological region you belong to. Different colours will show the different the populations you are related to. Native Region matches will determine which geographical regions you have the strongest link to. Strength indicators will shows you all regions to which you have heritage and let you know how strongly you are related to each geographical region and population. These are placed side by side for easy comparison to each other.This is not a genealogy test.

What our patients have to say about us

I have enjoyed the DNA experience with the capable and complete help of Dr. Fumakia. He succeeded in making me comfortable and relaxed, even though some results were surprising.

Thank you, Dr. Fumakia!

I had a DNA test done and was extremely pleased with the package of information that I received. The information was complete and easy to understand. It gave me practical information that I could use today and give to my family doctor to use in future.

Knowing that my husband I were carriers for cystic fibrosis really gave us the necessary information to prepare for what could come when we decide to have children. The DNA consultant was so informative and willing to answer all our questions, we have recommended DNA Testing Centres to all of our friends and family.
