Hello,
I am adopted, and I have uploaded my kit to gedmatch.com. On there, I match a person on X. There is no autosomal match.
I am male, and they are male. The length of the longest match is 22 cM, and it is a full base pair match. Interestingly though, nearly half of the remaining parts of the chromosome also show a full base pair match - just none of the segments are long enough to register as a match. The image literally looks like a comb, with full base pair teeth.
This seems really curious to me - is it possible that this could be a closer match than the autosomal side would suggest? Does it mean something specific about how we could be related? I'm just wondering how such a match can arise.
Thanks in advance!
