And the Verdict Is.....

Our girls are identical twins! Ed's mom, MaryAnn, was so generous to pay to have the DNA tests run. Affiliated Genetics sent us a test kit in the mail. I swabbed their cheeks and mailed it back. They tested 15 different STR DNA markers and they all came back "concordant". So, with "greater than 99% accuracy" we can say that they are monozygotic--from one egg. Actually, I think that they are "mirror image" identical twins, because their hair whorls spin in the opposite directions. So, one is likely to be a lefty. I was surprised by the results, but Ed had guessed it all along. He is usually right about things. Both of us are excited, as we think it will be fun. What do you think, would you have guessed identical?
