Shocking: Twins Found To Have Different Fathers After DNA Test

A pair of twins have been found to have different fathers after their parents grew suspicious of their different looks.
The infants, now two-year-old, were sent for DNA tests after one started growing thick wavy hair while the other had thin, straight hair.
The parents, from Hoa Binh province in Vietnam, had initially been concerned that they had been given the wrong baby in the hospital.
But the tests by the Ha Noi Centre for Genetic Analysis and Technology proved the twins shared the same mother but had different fathers.
The mother’s 34-year-old husband was the father to one of the twins but the second twin was not – making them bi-paternal.
This is the first reported case of bi-paternal twins, which are extremely rare, in Vietnam.
