Prenatal DNA Testing FAQ: Everything You Need to Know

Welcome to our Prenatal DNA Testing FAQ page. Here you’ll find clear answers to the most common questions about how prenatal paternity tests work, how early you can take one, and what to expect.

General Questions About Prenatal DNA Testing

What is non-invasive prenatal DNA testing?

Non-invasive prenatal DNA testing is a safe and reliable method to determine the paternity of a baby or to screen for genetic conditions during pregnancy. The test uses a small blood sample from the mother and a cheek swab from the alleged father, posing no risk to the baby or mother.

How early in pregnancy can I take the test?

Our prenatal DNA testing can be performed as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy for paternity testing and 10 weeks for genetic screening.

How safe is the test for the mother and baby?

The test is completely safe for both the mother and baby. Since it only requires a blood sample from the mother, it is non-invasive and risk-free compared to procedures like amniocentesis, which carry a risk of miscarriage.

How long does it take to get results?

Results are typically delivered within 3-5 business days after the samples are received at our lab. We also offer expedited services for quicker results.

What is the difference between legal and non-legal (peace of mind) DNA tests?

A legal prenatal DNA test follows strict chain-of-custody procedures, meaning the results are admissible in court for legal cases. Non-legal or peace-of-mind tests are for personal use and are not intended for court use.

Can I test more than one potential father?

Yes, you can add a gender test to your prenatal paternity test. If you’re testing multiple alleged fathers, there is an additional cost of $150 per person. It’s much more cost-effective to include all potential fathers at the beginning of the case rather than adding them later.
