Twin Zygosity DNA Testing

Will confirm with 100% accuracy whether twins are identical (monozygotic twins) or fraternal (heterozygotic twins). Only $189

Only $189 with results in 3-5 working days

Unless you have carried out a DNA test, you cannot be 100% certain that twins are identical or fraternal. This is because contrary to popular belief, identical twins do not always look identical. If you need to establish whether twins are monozygotic or dizygotic, we recommend Twin Zygosity DNA Testing. AffinityDNA offer a twin DNA test for just $189 with results emailed in 3-5 working days from receipt of samples.

The Birth of Twins

We know that at conception, a sperm cell fertilises an ovum forming what is known as a zygote. Usually, one sperm cell fertilises one egg. In some cases however, 2 sperm cells fertilise 2 eggs forming two independent zygotes. In this case, we have fraternal twins. Each twin is conceived from 2 different sperms and 2 different ova, and thus, the genetic data of the resulting zygote will be different. Non-identical twins can look strikingly similar or very different and can be of opposite sexes.

With identical twins, conception is somewhat different: one single sperm fertilises a single ovum and the fertilised egg then splits into two. The 2 resulting zygotes were formed from the same fertilised egg and thus have almost identical copies of DNA.

Reasons for Twin Zygosity DNA Testing

Whilst sometimes individuals carry out Twin Zygosity DNA Testing just out of curiosity, we also recommend twins DNA testing for the following health reasons.

If you are identical twins you can:

Donate blood to each other since identical twins will have the same blood group

Donate organs to each other with a very low risk of the implanted organ being rejected. The recipient of the organ will not need any immunosuppressants (a class of drugs that suppress the body’s immune system) as the body of the twin receiving the organ does not perceive the implanted organ as foreign but rather as if it were one if its own organs.

Dog Allergy Testing Kit Review
Hello Team, I would love to thank all involved in testing my dog allergies. Since that test she finally lives her life itch free as it enabled us to avoid products causing her allergic reaction. I am very grateful for this report as her health massively improved after we removed all listed products from her diet. Since that time I have been suggesting other dog owners which battle similar issue to use your service. 5* from Blue.

Dog Allergy Test Kit Review
We had our dog allergy tested with you last year. We were advised that it is not a good enough test by our vet and many others online. This however couldn't be more wrong. We used the results to remove foods from her diet and even hypo-allergenic shampoos etc. Since she turned 1 years old we had her allergy tested by blood at the vet to see if she had out grown any of these allergies. The results were exactly the same as we were given by yourselves. Everything in red she is still allergic to. Without your help I'm not sure how we would of been able to help her in her first year. Especially given that she is allergic to almost everything hypoallergenic.

Dog Allergy Testing Review
Please forward my praise to your superiors with regards to your customer attention - thank you for all the communication at all times, and making sure all OK. Much appreciated. 1 day into eliminating salmon oil from her diet (daily supplement I was giving her for for her arthritis) and the turkey menus she is considerably better, all in 24 hrs. Can’t wait to see how she improves within a few weeks of elimination.
