Prenatal DNA Paternity Testing (Non Invasive and Amino)

by Mark Adward

How is it possible to know the gene pattern of your child before it is born? What is the necessity of the procedure, and what is the impact of the procedure, if it can be performed? The search for the child’s real parents even before birth can now be determined through DNA testing. This is what is commonly referred to as Prenatal DNA testing for paternity. It is a growing issue in society, since there are observers who are already under the impression that it may cause emotional or psychological harm, especially to the mother.

This type of DNA procedure is possible since the DNA of the child starts to be created immediately after conception. The DNA pattern does not change and therefore the doctor can always obtain the results if instructed to do so. It may be slightly more involved than the standard DNA test, but it is as straightforward as the other procedures. In addition, the results are as accurate as the ones established in the standard DNA tests.

For the paternal comparison to be made, the DNA samples must be obtained from the alleged parents (both the mother and the father), as well as from the unborn child. The samples from the child will either be obtained from the amniocentesis or from the CVS. This is a sample that is derived from the fetus, and it will have exactly the same composition as the rest of the baby’s body. In most cases, the sample can safely be obtained when the child is in its 14^th to 24^th week in the womb.

For PrenatalDNA Paternity Testing (Non Invasive and Amino) to take place, the physician will commonly ask for an extra fee for the retrieval of the sample from the child. The parents will have the standard procedures done on them in order to confirm their DNA. Collecting the sample will usually involve rubbing a swab against the inside area of the mouth. The procedure may be of essence especially if the court of law requires proof of the paternity of the infant.

The ethical implications of the procedure are still under question, but there are certain special occasions where the DNA test is necessary, especially in a situation concerning artificial insemination. In this case, the DNA sample will have to be collected in order to confirm the source of the donor.
