What is a Y-chromosome genetic profile?
The Y chromosome is one of the human sex chromosomes. It is transmitted exclusively from father to son and contains genetic information specific to the male lineage.
The analysis of the Y chromosome makes it possible to establish and compare male genetic profiles, without providing any information on health, geographical origins or overall genetic heritage.
Usage
The Y chromosome genetic profiling test allows for the establishment of a genetic signature specific to the male lineage, transmitted from father to son.
Unlike a genealogical test, it does not aim to search for ancestors or matches in databases, but rather to create a Y genetic profile intended for comparison with other male profiles.
This type of test can be utilised in various situations, particularly to compare Y profiles among men to verify the existence of a common paternal lineage, for instance in complex family contexts such as adoption or family separation.
It may also serve as a genetic analysis tool in identification or study frameworks, for informative or comparative purposes.
This test remains a genetic comparison tool and does not constitute a medical test, a legal test, or a genealogical test in the strict sense.
Which DNA test should you choose?
Are you questioning your biological origin, a familial connection, or the need to conduct a DNA test? It is important to select the test that is appropriate for your requirements.
The Y genetic profile test solely provides a male DNA profile intended for genetic comparison. It does not establish paternity nor determine geographical origins.
For paternity or maternity testing, or to ascertain your origins, other specific DNA tests are necessary.
