discrepancies in DNA-findings with twin sisters
3
Dear Sir/Madam, a couple of weeks ago I ordered a MYHeritage DNA kit for my wife. Delivery was speedy, activating the kit and taking the DNA sample without problems. And off it went to your lab in Texas. The results took a while to come, but now they have arrived. The outcome, however, has left my wife thoroughly confused. And I for myself think that this ethnicity distribution asks for an explanation. Why? Well, let me explain: 1. My wife has a twin sister who, too, has had her DNA tested. Her DNA results show the following: 78% Welsh 12% English and North Western European 7% Scottish 3% Eastern European & Russian 2. My wife's results as extracted from her DNA sample by your lab show the following: 81, 3% Irish, Scottish and Welsh 8, 5% Eastern Euopean 5, 7% Finnish 2, 6% Scandinavian 1, 9% English These are some quite significant discrepancies, to say the least. 3. Moreover, my wife's great grandfather originally came from Split, in today‘s Croatia. He emigrated to Britain, where he married. Logically (Biologically) one would assume that there should be at least traces of his Southern European origin to be found in the twin sisters‘ DNA. My wife and her twin sister would appreciate it, if you could shed some light on these rather strange findings because presently they are close to believing that this whole DNA business is a scam. Yours sincerly, Guenther Ihrenberger
