My brother and I are fraternal twins.
Recently, we took a DNA test just for fun to see what similarities and differences we had. In terms of genetics, fraternal twins share some genes just like regular siblings. The results showed 0% match between us which seemed impossible. We thought maybe there was a mix-up with the samples, so we took the test again.
But the result was the same. We decided to ask our parents if they had ever done any genetic tests before, hoping something might explain the strange results. When we asked, they exchanged looks and stayed silent. Finally, Mom said those tests aren’t reliable and we shouldn’t have done one.Horrified and confused, I rushed to the hospital where we were born. They confirmed that Mom, my twin, and I are all 3 listed in the records.
