TOKYO —

A war-displaced Japanese woman currently on a visit to Japan from China will undergo a DNA check to determine if she is related to a Japanese man who may be her elder brother, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare said Thursday.

Qu Meiqin, presumed to be 64, met with the man, a resident of Ibaraki Prefecture, for about an hour Thursday morning. But no firm clues to establishing any link between them were found, ministry officials said.
