Women have two X-chromosomes, while men have only one X chromosome. Therefore a Father and his 2 Daughters will all have at least one of their X-chromosomes exactly the same (the X from their father).
X chromsome testing is used to see if two or more female persons with different mothers have the same
biological father.
If the two or more female persons share the same mother, we require a sample from the mother to be included in the testing, but it is included in the testing cost.
X-chromosome testing is a another unique scientific offering from DNA SOLUTIONS laboratories. DNA SOLUTIONS, the company that created the home DNA test kits and high region-super accurate paternity testing, now has a system to test a high number of specific points on the X chromosome of each person.
If the siblings have the same mother, her sample is required but will be tested free of charge.
