About Our Prenatal Testing
This test uses fetal DNA released from placental cells into the mother’s blood. Placental cells undergo a natural life cycle during the course of the baby’s development. As new cells grow, older cells slough off and disintegrate, releasing fetal DNA into the mother’s blood.
It is recommended to wait until 9 weeks of gestational age before attempting to do this test. DDC does not require proof of gestational age, but the chances of detecting fetal DNA in the mother’s blood increase with the age of the fetus.
Because we are using free-floating fetal DNA instead of circulating fetal cells, previous pregnancies will not affect this test. Fetal DNA does not last long in the mother’s blood after the baby is born.
Likewise, a previous blood transfusion will not affect the test as long as it was performed more than one week before the blood draw.
The risk associated with non-invasive prenatal paternity testing is no greater than any other blood draw that is performed on a pregnant woman during the course of her pregnancy.
This test does not provide any other genetic information about the fetus (e.g. sex or inherited traits/disease markers).
