Genetic compatibility refers to the match between the genes of two individuals, particularly with respect to their potential to have children together. Some people believe that certain genetic combinations may be more compatible and result in healthier offspring.

There are a few different ways that genetic compatibility can be evaluated. One method is to test for the presence or absence of certain genetic markers, such as HLA (human leukocyte antigen) markers, which are involved in the immune system. Individuals with more dissimilar HLA profiles are more genetically compatible, as this could result in a child with a more diverse immune system. See references on this page.

Another way to evaluate genetic compatibility is through genetic testing for inherited disorders. Couples who are considering having children may choose to undergo genetic testing to determine their risk of passing on certain inherited disorders to their offspring. This can help them make informed decisions about their fertility options and the potential risks and benefits of having children together.

It is important to note that genetic compatibility is not the only factor that determines the health and well-being of a child. Other factors, such as the overall health and lifestyle of the parents, can also have a significant impact on the health of a child.

We've been asked by customers to include race, but the definition of race is ambiguous. To allow people from minorities to find each other, we have provided options for matchmaking based on similar geographical location and shared religion or life philosophy.
We certainly agree with the words of Jane Elliott: "There Is Only One Race. The Human Race." So DNA Romance doesn’t use race to describe the many different phenotypes of humans resulting from differences in population ancestry.
While we do appreciate a person's preference for different colors, we are still considering how to thoughtfully accommodate our customers' preferences. Please send us an email if you have any helpful suggestions on this topic.

Yes, evidence from several studies shows that the same rules of attraction also apply to relationships between people in the LGBTQ community.

To assist with our guidance on relationship compatibility, we have developed a scale that uses the 16 personality types from the Myers-Briggs test and provides maximum weight to compatible personality types and less weight to personality types that tend to clash.

Research shows that the rare sensation of chemistry is felt by people who are genetically compatible. Our bodies are naturally programmed to feel receptive and welcoming to people who are genetically compatible.

Each of us has a unique combination of several hundred genes, corresponding to our immune responses, which protect us from some diseases and not others. Everyone is different, and no one person is resistant to every disease known to humanity.

Our sense of smell (olfactory system) is so highly evolved that we will find someone’s smell to be pleasant if they are resistant to diseases that we aren’t. Our sense of smell is wired to our brain and detects potential relationship partners who are resistant to different diseases. This is important because when one partner is sick, the other might remain healthy. Furthermore, children will inherit a more diverse set of genes from their parents, protecting them from more diseases than either parent alone..

The relationship between immune system genes and attraction (mate-pairing) is not exclusive to humans, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) dependent mate selection has been described in many vertebrates, including fish, birds, and primates. Please refer to our blog y reference list for dozens of research papers describing this phenomenon..

Stigmatization and discrimination are important concerns when using new technologies, and we respect individuals and their personal choices, regardless of their genetic, socio-economic, ethnic, cultural, educational, and religious backgrounds. We uphold global policies such as The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, which was passed to bar the misuse of genetic information in the United States.
