DNA analysis of the six men showed that they shared the same Y chromosome – a gene passed down through the male line in the family. The results showed that the da Vinci male bloodline had not been broken for at least 15 generations. (Photo: Euro Weekly News)

However, there is still no DNA sample confirmed to be Leonardo's for direct comparison. (Photo: MSN)
