TWIN DNA TESTING

What is a Twin DNA Test?

A Twin DNA Test, also known as a Twin Zygosity DNA Test, is a genetic test that helps determine if twins are identical or fraternal.

Identical Twins:
Identical twins come from the same fertilized egg.

Fraternal Twins:
Fraternal twins are born from two separate eggs.

Samples from this testing option will be tested by our partner, The Association for the Advancement of Blood and Biotherapies (AABB) accredited laboratory. The accreditation means your samples will be tested to the highest standards.

This also means, if you need your results for legal purposes, the results will be recognized by all state institutions nationwide.
