Amniocentesis / Chorionic Villus
Sample (CVS) Prenatal Paternity Test
|
This prenatal paternity test uses the amniotic fluid or
chorionic villus sample (CVS) collected by your
physician
to determine the paternity of your child.
Your physician is needed to
collect your amniotic fluid or CVS sample. DNA
Plus coordinates this collection with your
physician, as well as the collection of samples from
the alleged father(s). All arrangements will be made during your
consultation.
Two types of this
test are available: Standard (i.e., non
court-admissible) and Court-Admissible.
With one call to DNA
Plus, your entire test can be arranged - the mother's collection,
the father's collection - everything. Even if the mother and
alleged father(s) are in different states - or countries.
Due to the invasive nature of an
amniocentesis or CVS, many expectant mothers prefer
our
Fetal Cell Prenatal Paternity Test. This test is
noninvasive and uses only the mother's blood to
test paternity. (more

How It Works
Amniocentesis
| Amniocentesis is a
prenatal test in which a small
sample of the amniotic fluid surrounding
the fetus is removed and examined.
Living cells from the fetus float in the
amniotic fluid. These cells are used to determine paternity.
An
amniocentesis is
usually done
16 to 22 weeks into gestation. |
|
Chorionic Villus
Sample (CVS)
| Chorionic villus
sampling (CVS) is a prenatal test that
involves taking a tiny tissue sample
from outside the sac where the fetus
develops. This tissue is used to
determine paternity.
While a CVS can be performed as early as
10 weeks into gestation, your physician
will advise you on when to have the
sample taken. |
