I actually meant the opposite, that DNA tests will show Europe as region of ancestry, but I also see how your idea can cause problems too.
I just have memories of the early days of genetic sequencing research breakthroughs and the Israeli government started to order it's scientists to sequence the Israeli and Palestinian DNA to "prove" their difference... only to very quickly learn they were almost identical, stop the program, and try and stop people from talking about it.
