A spouse who was previously believed not to be the father of his wife’s child was instead linked to the child through his unborn twin, according to a startling DNA test that revealed a strange genetic and identity story.
This uncommon disorder, called chimerism, explained how the child was fathered by his twin brother’s absorbed DNA, setting off a chain of events that put both the wonders of science and the ties of family to the test.
It all began when a woman gave birth to her child and her husband chose to do a DNA test out of interest or worry.
The test’s surprising conclusion was that he was not the baby’s father. Bewildered and determined to prove her dedication, the mother demanded to retake the exam.
After several retests, the results stayed the same, which resulted in the couple’s divorce and the husband’s choice to cut off contact with the child.
As the mystery grew, additional DNA testing revealed an even more bizarre conclusion: the man was the baby’s uncle rather than its father.
Since the man was an only child and had no siblings who could have fathered the child, this revelation appeared to be impossible.
When researchers carried out a more thorough genetic investigation, the plot became more complex.
The man was later found to be a chimera, which means that throughout his pregnancy, he had taken in his twin brother’s DNA.
THE WHOLE STORY:
“DNA is really so crazy, have y’all heard that story about the woman who had a baby with her husband and when he got a DNA test done he wasn’t the father.”
“The mother insisted he was the dad so much so that they repeated the test numerous times the couple got divorced and the man refused to be in the child’s life.”
“It later came out based off the DNA results that he wasn’t the father but the uncle of the child which was impossible because he was an only child.”
“After a more extensive DNA test they found out the husband was actually a chimera which essentially means he had a twin brother that he ate in utero essentially absorbing his DNA.”
So basically the unborn, twin brother was the father even though the husband bore the child.”
