Genetic testing shows that fewer Icelandic children are born to the wrong father than previously believed. DeCode, an Icelandic company that analyses and understands the human genome, has established that less than one percent of Icelanders are wrongly fathered.
“The myth that 10-15 percent of people are wrongly fathered is greatly exaggerated. The real figure is less than one percent,“ CEO and co-founder of deCode, Kári Stefánsson, said during a television interview, referring to the myth that one in 10 people is born illegitimately.
The conclusion was reached by carrying out genetic tests on 150 thousand Icelanders, according to Vísir.
