Does anyone think that our favourite Imp - Tyrion Lannister can be a chimera?

A chimera or a person with chimerism is an odd sort of twin. A chimera happens when two fertilized eggs fuse in the womb. If the fusion does not happen, the result would be fraternal twins, but when it does happen, you get a twin that is not visibly a twin at all. Most chimeras have no idea and will never have any idea that they were and technically are a twin. Visibly, there is no difference, although, a chimera may have two different colored eyes. The real signs are in the DNA. A chimera will have two distinct sets of DNA that will show up in different tissues throughout their body. The difference can also appear in their bloodstream; however, this is very easily missed, unless it is being looked for specifically. DNA tests on tissues from different parts of the body on a chimera can look like they are DNA tests from two completely different people. The separate DNA may also be of both genders.

With a previous set of twin offsprings for Tywin Lannister, in the form of Cercei and Jaime.. There seems to be a higher probablility of this being the case with Tyrion..

What effects could this have on the future of this Saga??? Any thoughts?? :)
