I see there's not a lot of people who answer in this section, but I will give this a shot....?

We are testing for paternity on my son who is 9 years old.... 10 years ago I had sexual relations with 2 brothers, plus a couple of other men. Yes, it is obvious that I had no boundaries or real guidance in my life at that age. This was 10 years ago, and just for the record, I am a completely different person now. But on a hunt for my sons biological father, I decided to test the one I had sex with more often. We can call him Brother A. When the results came back that he is not the father, they sent me the DNA results. Out of 15 alleles, only 6 did not match. Leaving 9 that did. Does this mean that he could be a relative? We are testing Brother B as well, I'm just trying to do my research in the mean time. Does anyone know about DNA testing enough to help me out here? I just want my mind to be at ease during the waiting phase of all of this.

Update:

thank so much!

    well seeing as how the two are brothers, brother A would be his uncle and there should be a high percentage match

    if you think about it like this brother A and Brother B might have 75% of the same genes having come from the same mother and father then you add your genes to your son so 50% is yours and 50% is the guy's if you think that brother a and b might have 75% of the same genes and these 75% are dominate alleles then they would have been passed on and that's why your son has such a great connection to his uncle.
