I'm guessing you mean if the genetic makeup of the person is different even though he/she exists in Storybrooke while having had a former life in Fairytale Land. Us as the viewers of Once Upon a Time, we can see the fairytale characters counterparts in Storybrooke. but remember that the Dark Curse erased everyone's memories, and created new and different lives for them in Storybrooke. So you see, like, how Moe is supposed to be Maurice's counterpart, but it looks like he has no knowledge of having had a daughter in his previous life. It's not that their DNA changed. it's simply the effect of the Dark Curse that made them have no association with each other, so in Storybrooke they don't know each other.

Same with David being Prince Charming in his previous life, and King George was his adoptive father then. In Storybrooke, King George is Albert Spencer, the district attorney, but neither of them have any knowledge of their familial link with each other from the previous life together.
