DNA Twin Testing

The DNA Twin Zygosity Test will conclusive confirm whether a set of twins are Identical Twins or Fraternal Twins. It is not always 100% conclusive during birth whether a set of twins are identical or fraternal. The only way to conclusively confirm zygosity is through genetic testing. The DNA Twin Test can be taken by twins of all ages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we can. If the participants are located in different places, we can send parts of the DNA test kit to separate addresses. During checkout, simply write “Please split kit” in the “Additional Notes” box and specify where to send each component. For example, you can say “Send one kit to [Name, Address]” and “Send the second kit to [Name, Address]”. Each component is uniquely barcoded, so once your samples arrive at the lab, they will be tested together.

For legal purposes such as court proceedings, child custody, support, or inheritance claims, you will need to order the Legal DNA Twin Test. This test requires a chain of custody procedure to ensure its admissibility in court. The process involves a neutral third party collecting the DNA samples, proper identification of the participants, and the samples being directly sent to the testing lab. Legal DNA Twin Testing is available in the US, Canada, and the UK.

There are no age restrictions for participating in a DNA twin test. Individuals of any age, including newborns, can take the test. However, for minors, consent from a legal guardian is required.

No, the test kits do not expire and can be stored indefinitely before use. However, once a sample is collected, it’s recommended to send the kit back to our laboratory for testing within 3 months.
Your results will display two numbers (alleles) that represent the repeats you inherited from each parent at each STR marker. You may have identical alleles at a marker or different ones. These allele numbers are compared between the twins to clearly determine if they are identical or fraternal twins.
