Of course it could have a meaning that we are already aware of ... like Tatsuya being a failure of the Yotsuba or being too powerful.... due to his unique innate magic ... but it could be also be an author's way of foreshadowing / hinting that there are some more mysteries around Tatsuya's background...
Basically, in my opinion, nothing is certain in a ongoing work, since everything can be changed by the author in the future story events.
Especially if it involves such a mysterious clan as the Yotsuba, which keeps their members, activities and history in the dark...
Of course ... if something is well established in the story, it's a lot more harder to change it ... later on, but since the blood tests have been ... from what I remember ... only mentioned in a single ... side story volume ... it makes it, quite easy to overrule by simply having the author pointing out that the tests that the siblings have done in the past have been faked by the Yotsuba clan who wanted to keep the true origins of their 'sin' in the dark ... or something similar to that.
If the author didn't want the blood test to be overruled by future story developments ... he could have easily shown us a flashback of the blood tests being done ... or have the siblings conduct another blood test in the present time ... but, obviously the author hasn't done that...
Furthermore I find the whole plot point of Tatsuya and Miyuki doing blood tests to confirm their relation pretty suspicious on it's own ... since, at least in the real world ... they are usually done if there are some uncertainties about someones origins, which shouldn't be the case for Miyuki and Tatsuya considering the things that we know about their father (huge psion count that has been inherited by both Tatsuya and Miyuki ) and mother (unique mental interference magic, which has also been inherited by her daughter)...

I get what your are saying, and quite frankly you are correct. But remember when kudou restu talked to kazama, he said he knows tatsuya is the son of yotsuba miya, and the way he said it sounded very convinced.
We assume that tasuya is the one that is not miya child , but going back to same conversation kudou didn`t say anything about about miyuki, it could be tatsuya is the real child and myuki is not.
As for the yotsuba sin, its hard to tell without more information considering the yotsuba did lots of shady stuff in the past, but i doubt its because tatsuya was genetically altered, he can tell if magicians are altered or not with his ES.
I think this whole sin is about, maya and miya(and the yotsuba) knew about tatsuya decomposition and regrowth before the operation and in their desire to create a more powerful magician they wanted to give him same power over normal magic but the experiment failed and the result was an almost emotionless individual with extreme powers, intelligence and very unpredictable, and the yotsuba considers that such a powerful magician existence they have created a sin and their behavior towards him is just a way for the yotsuba to separate and push him away from the clan in order to save face if this information ever came to light.
But i think they are siblings, why would they put tatsuya and 8 9 years old boy as a guardian to miyuki a girl when their own custom was to have gender specific guardians for the clan members, female clan member with female guardian and same for male.
They never met before that time so neither of them knew they had siblings, but maya still put him as a guardian and this resulted in the current situation of not making miyuki the next head the risk of tats turning against the clan will be almost 100% not to mention miyuki turning against them as well.
I don't see why maya would intentionally tie her hands this way, unless that was her plan all along , to use tatsuya power as leverage into making miyuki the next heir over the other candidates and in return miyuki will use her status and influence to bring tatsuya back in the clan, as a way for the clan to accept what they have done and also to ensure his loyalty.
If it turns out maya has actually planed something along this lines she is way smarter and devious then we are lead to believe .
) that he spent time around the Kuroba as a child, but again, that's not the same thing as growing up completely apart.
