Man Fails Paternity Test. by jide219(m): 6:09pm On Oct 25, 2015 |

A US man has failed a paternity test after doctors
revealed his dead twin, whose DNA the man
absorbed in the womb, is the genetic father of the
child.
The 34-year-old man is the first ever reported
case of a paternity test being fooled by a human
chimera, someone with extra genes absorbed
from a twin lost in early pregnancy.
Approximately one in eight single childbirths are
thought to start as multiple pregnancies and
occasionally cells from the miscarried siblings are
sometimes absorbed in the womb by a surviving
twin.
According to Buzzfeed , the Washington couple
took a paternity test after their son’s blood type
didn’t match that of either parent. After having a
child with the help of fertility clinic procedures,
they feared that sperm donors may have
potentially been mixed up.

After the initial failed fertility test, they took a
genetic ancestry test which suggested that the
man was actually his son’s uncle.
The father’s sperm was found to have 10 per
cent of a genetic match to the infant. The genes
in his sperm were different to that in his saliva
and it has been concluded that the father of the
boy is effectively the man’s own unborn twin. |
