genetic match
Hereditary profile correspondence
A genetic match occurs when DNA profiles correspond closely enough to establish a relationship or identity.
In forensics, a genetic match links evidence to a suspect: Police found a genetic match in their database.
In medicine, it indicates compatibility for organ or bone marrow donation.
Family members seeking biological relatives use genetic matching through ancestry services to find connections.
