The curious case of Natalia Grace has captivated public interest by unveiling the complexities of age determination and its intersection with scientific age testing methods like Methylation testing.
This story dives into the heart of a mystery involving Natalia Grace, the Ukrainian orphan whose adoptive parents, Michael and Kristine Barnett, found themselves entangled in a controversy that questioned the very fabric of their family.
Years after a legal battle in Marion County Probate Court to legally change Natalia's age, the role of Methylation testing helped researchers like Dr. Halland Chen determine Natalia's true age.
Methylation testing is a DNA test that provides clues about biological age. Dr. Halland Chen used methylation testing to offer insights that would challenge the Barnetts' narrative, suggesting a rare genetic disorder rather than a case of a homicidal adult masquerading as a child.
