False Negatives?

Imagine if 1 person in 500 in the GENERAL Caucasian population have these identical markers per the hype?
Cut your permutation exponent in half for a full non-identical-twin-sibling or parent or child drawn from two RANDOM portions of the caucasian populace. That’s 1/22 siblings/parents/children have the same undetectable distinct markers set.
For a first cousin, one in 230.
Consider within ethnic groups within the caucasian populace which are more similar genetically. Those numbers go down on all relation levels.


But identical twins.
Hmm-any teams in the peloton started recruiting riders having identical twins yet?
