Twinship test

Identical twins originate from a single fertilized egg, called a zygote. The zygote, which usually develops into a single child, divides early in development to form two embryos, creating twins with the same DNA. In contrast, dizygotic twins develop when two different eggs in the mother's uterus are fertilized by two different sperm cells. Dizygotic twins will not have exactly the same DNA.

The twinship test we offer can determine whether two twins are identical twins or not. The test protocol is very rigorous and precise. It includes the reading of 22 DNA sequences (22 loci), giving the test an absolute percentage of certainty.
