The rate of twinning seems to be growing. And the biggest question is "are they identical?" You need a twin zygosity test to know for certain. There are many reasons to do a Twin Zygosity Test. We list a few of them here.
It is not always conclusive at birth if twins are identical or not. Parents usually have to know for their own reasons. A twin DNA test can answer this question with 100% accurate results.
If one twin is in need of an organ transplant, the best donor would be his or her identical twi. This reduces the chance of organ rejection. For certainty you should do a twin zygosity test.
You can't tell by looking at twins if they are Identical or Fraternal. Even your Dr. will use a lab for zygosity testing.
An identical twin test can provide an estimation of the possibility of the mother, or female relatives, giving birth to future sets of twins.
Twin testing will provide the siblings the knowledge if they are identical twins or not will help the twins develop their own identity and assist them in developing strong social skills.
Family members may rely on sight for thinking they know if the twins are di/di or mono. You can help them learn about zygosity. A great resource is Journey Genetic Testing's Twin Zygosity page.
