| The GENETICA
DNA Test™ for Siblings
In the DNA sibling test,
two children are tested to determine whether they share the
same biological parent or parents. Full siblings are individuals
who have the same biological mother and the same biological
father. Half siblings share only one parent.
Since siblings have the same
parent(s), they have matching genes much more often than do
two unrelated individuals. When matches between two potential
siblings are found, calculations are made to determine the
probability that a sibling relationship exists.
The GENETICA DNA Test™
for siblings usually shows a number of genetic matches in
true biological siblings. In such cases, the GENETICA DNA
Test™ for siblings may show the probability
of siblingship to be greater than 99%, provided the tested
alleged siblings inherited genes that are not commonly present
in the population. The GENETICA DNA Test™
for siblings is a useful and informative test. However, testing
additional known family members (in addition to the potential
siblings) greatly improves the accuracy of this DNA test.
