Twins DNA Testing

easyDNA offers the possibility to carry out an accurate Twins DNA test. It is important to bear in mind that basing one’s classification of twins as either fraternal (heterozygotic twins) or identical (monozygotic twins) on appearance is an unreliable and misleading technique. 

easyDNA offers twins DNA testing with reliability and professionalism which will determine whether the twins in question are identical or fraternal. Identical genetic profiles indicate a clear case of identical twins, whilst dissimilar genetic profiles confirms the twins are fraternal.

Our Twin Zygosity test is offered at R1995 for the testing of two siblings; there is a an extra charge of just R1000 for any other sibling requiring testing.

Our results are carried by an accredited laboratory. This guarantees the accuracy of the results, and moreover, all tests rely on the identification of a total of 16 genetic markers to support this accuracy.

Reasons for doing a Twin Zygosity DNA test

To satisfy their curiosity both parents of twins and twins themselves might be inclined towards knowing whether they are fraternal or identical twins. However, knowing for medical/health reasons is also important. In the case of the need for blood transfusions or organ donation,  identical twins can donate blood to each other and moreover make more suitable organ donors. The chances of organd being rejected are far lower when identical twins donate organs to each other.
