Full siblings - same biological
father and mother
Half siblings - same biological father, different biological
mother OR different biological father, same biological
mother
Twins - identical twins, fraternal twins
Brothers and
sisters share most if not all of their parents. genes. The probability
of blood relationships can be established by analyzing:
Autosomal genes - inherited
in part from their parents and grandparents
Supplementary tests, only
when needed
Y-chromosome haplotype
- inherited along the paternal line vertically and horizontally,
that include the father, paternal uncles and cousins, paternal
grandfather, and paternal grand uncles and their off springs
Hypervariable regions of
mitochondrial DNA - inherited from the maternal line vertically
and horizontally, that include mother, maternal aunts and cousins,
maternal grandmother, and maternal great aunts and their off
springs
In view of
the above, the analytical results can be strengthened by comparing
the DNA profiles of other relatives.
