Prenatal DNA Paternity Test - The GENETICA DNA Test™

Under certain circumstances, you may find it necessary to perform Prenatal DNA testing - DNA test on an unborn child (fetus) for the purpose of establishing biological paternity. The highly accurate GENETICA DNA Test™ for paternity may be performed before birth of the child. The accuracy of a Prenatal DNA test is not affected by the age of the child or fetus tested, provided that the same rigorous testing procedures are used in the analysis.

A Prenatal DNA paternity test - DNA test during pregnancy must be performed by obtaining either a small sample of the placenta (i.e, chorionic villus sampling), or a sample of amniotic fluid that bathes the baby (i.e, amniocentesis). These fetal samples must be collected by the mother's obstetrician, and their collections pose a slight risk to both the mother and the fetus.

In some cases, the mother's obstetrician may decide to perform chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis in order to check the health of the unborn baby. When such samples are collected from the fetus by the obstetrician for medical reasons, Genetica DNA laboratories can also conduct Prenatal DNA paternity testing on the same samples (no additional sampling is needed for Prenatal DNA paternity testing). Just contact Genetica DNA Laboratories, and our staff will work with the mother's obstetrician's office to make arrangements for DNA testing of the fetal samples
