DNA Tests for Paternity and Maternity

DNA testing is currently the latest and the most accurate technology for determining origin. The standard DNA paternity test generates convincing results to prove the father-child relationship.

To determine paternity, the presumed father, child, and mother (optional) participate in the DNA test. The mother's participation is not compulsory but helps to exclude half of the DNA material inherited from her, facilitating the analysis of the data. The DNA paternity test is accurate and convincing without the involvement of the mother.

If the genetic profile of the presumed father does not match child’s profile, then it is 100% certain that the presumed father is not the biological father. If the profiles match, there is 99.99% certainty that the presumed father is the biological father.

Determining Haplogroups for the Purposes of Genealogy

Determination of Y-haplogroup

The test is used to study paternal lineage by analyzing the Y chromosome. The analysis can only be performed on males, determining paternal lineage. The Y-haplogroup is the same for all men in the father’s family.

Diagnostic Range: Paternal Lineage

Diagnostic Method: Fragment analysis of microsatellite markers for determination of Y-haplogroup

Research Material: Venous or capillary blood with K2EDTA (purple tube)

Results within: 10 business days

Fee: BGN 600

Result

Certificate with a specific Y-haplogroup according to the profile obtained from the tested DNA markers 

Determining Haplogroups for the Purposes of Genealogy

Determining Mitochondrial Haplogroup

The test is used to determine maternal lineage by analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Regardless of their sex, children inherit this haplogroup from their mother, so the analysis is applicable to both men and women.

Diagnostic Range: Maternal lineage

Diagnostic Method: Sequencing of mitochondrial genome HVR1 and 2 to determine mitochondrial haplogroup

Research Material: Venous or capillary blood with K2EDTA (purple tube)

Results within: 10 business days

Fee: BGN 500

Result

Certificate with a specific mitochondrial haplogroup and genetic variants found

DNA Kinship Test

Disputed Parental Origin Test

The analysis is based on a comparison of the child's DNA profiles with the indicated presumed parent - mother or father. The result is confirmation or complete exclusion of paternity / maternity. Performing the analyzes is optional and has judicial value.

Diagnostic Range: Disputed paternity test; Disputed maternity test; Identification of the subject - comparison of biological samples

Diagnostic Method: Fragment analysis. Number of DNA markers tested: 21

Research Material: Venous or capillary blood with K2EDTA (purple tube); Buccal mucosa

Results within: 7 business days

Fee: BGN 900 - BGN 1,200 - depending on the number of children tested

Result

 Complete exclusion / Confirmation of biological relationship
