Title: Different results for siblings?
Post by: 100%Gog on Tuesday 21 April 15 16:55 BST (UK)
I am told that DNA test results for ethnicity can vary between siblings due to individual mutation. My brother and I have tried this and it seems the variation does occur although the difference is small.

It came as a surprise to us both and also the family. I am assuming that this is the mutation effect showing through but also that the results are estimates as many of the testing companies state.

Has anyone else come across this as well?

Before anyone asks....yes we do have the same biological parents ;D
