Siblingship Test
A siblingship test is useful for determining if individuals are full
brother/sisters, half brothers/sisters or unrelated. Whenever the mother(s)
is/are known, it is strongly recommended that they be included in the test.
Including the mother(s) in the test can increase the results ten-fold, where
you might see a probability of 98% instead of only 83%.
The fee for this test is based on the number of individuals tested. Results
are available 3-5 business days after receipt at the laboratory.
Twin Testing
Approximately one in every fifty Americans is a twin, two thirds of which are
fraternal and one third identical.
Identical twins are formed when one egg is fertilized by a single sperm cell
and then divides within the first few days of pregnancy. If division of the egg
occurs after 8 days, this can result in conjoined twins, also known as
Siamese twins. Twins produced by this process are referred to as identical
since their DNA sequence is identical. While the twins are identical
genetically, this often does not apply to the actual physical or behavioral
traits. Generally their traits are similar, however they can differ.
Fraternal twins are formed when two eggs are independently fertilized by
two sperm cells. Fraternal twins do not have identical DNA but will have half
of their DNA in common, just like siblings of the same parents that are born
at different times. Fraternal twins can either be of the same sex or different
sex. The occurrence of fraternal twins varies substantially in frequency
over the world. They are common in the pregnancies of older women,
especially common in Africans, and relatively rare among those of Asian
heritage.
Twin classification done at delivery often results in misidentification. For
example, approximately 25-33% of identical twins have two sets of chorionic
membranes. Unless a DNA or other blood test was performed, it is difficult
to accurately determine if twins are fraternal or identical.
The fee for this test includes 2 individuals. Results are available 2-3
business days after receipt at the laboratory.
Maternity Testing
DNA testing can be used to confirm the biological relationship between a
mother and child. The testing follows the same principles as in paternity
testing. This test is often useful in cases were a child has been separated
by adoption or there is a concern that the baby was switched at birth.
The fee for this test includes the mother and a single child. Results are
available 2-3 business days after receipt at the laboratory.
