mtDNA Haplogroup Backbone SNP Test

Purpose of test:  To confirm an individual’s predicted mtDNA haplogroup (deep ancestry on maternal line) by testing informative SNP markers in the coding region of the mtDNA.

Availability:  Open to both males and females.

Prerequisites:  HVR1 test and HVR2 test are prerequisites.  Must be ordered in conjunction with or subsequent to the HVR1 test and preferably the HVR2 test.  Your mtDNA haplogroup is confirmed by examining markers in all three regions of the mtDNA.
