Twins Test

$189

Forensics Canada offers DNA testing for twins to determine whether twin siblings are identical (monozygotic) or non-identical (dizygotic). Curious to know if you and your twin share identical DNA? Our twin zygosity test provides clear and reliable answers—with 100% accurate results you can trust.

About identical and non-identical twins

Twins can be either identical or non-identical. Identical, or monozygotic, twins share the exact same DNA, while non-identical, or heterozygotic, twins may not—even in rare cases having different fathers. Physical appearance alone isn’t always enough to determine if twins share the same DNA. To find out more about twin DNA testing, visit Forensics Canada.

Reasons for doing a twin zygosity test

Twin testing is mainly done for curiosity purposes. Parents of twins—or the twins themselves—sometimes want to confirm whether they are identical or fraternal. Twin DNA analysis can also be important for medical reasons, such as organ donations and blood transfusions. Identical twins are far more compatible as organ donors and always share the same blood type, making them suitable blood donors for each other.

Collecting your DNA sample using the mouth swabs we provide is simple and painless. Samples are collected using our easy-to-use DNA testing kit.

A DNA twin zygosity test costs $189 for testing two siblings, with an additional cost of $100 per person for each additional sibling tested. Results are normally available within 5–7 business days.

Our twin test is based on the analysis of 21 different genetic markers, offering a minimum probability in excess of 99.99%.

Note: We can only guarantee standard result turnaround time when testing takes place solely using oral swab samples. Using a discreet sample for your test may lead to an increase in turnaround time.
