Fetal Cell/DNA
Prenatal Gender Test
A Noninvasive Prenatal Gender
Test Sampling Only the Mother's Blood
|
This prenatal gender test gives curious parents the option of knowing the
gender of their baby as early as 10 weeks into the pregnancy. This
test uses only the mother's blood.
|
 |
|
Unlike an
amniocentesis or
CVS which
could cause problems in the pregnancy and/or fetal injuries,
induce labor, or terminate the
pregnancy,
this test is noninvasive.
You do not need to have an
amniocentesis or CVS to do this
test. |
|
The collection of
the mother's blood for this test is safe
and noninvasive for both the mother
and unborn fetus, and you do not need a physician to collect the
sample specimen.
A collection
technician is needed to complete this test. DNA Plus
coordinates all aspects of this test with one of our thousands of collection
sites nationwide. All arrangements will be made during your
consultation.

entire test can be arranged with one call to DNA

How It Works
This test uses both fetal cells and fetal DNA isolation from
maternal blood. During pregnancy, a variety of cell types of
fetal origin, as well as fetal DNA, cross the placenta and
circulate within maternal peripheral blood.
This fetal
material is a source of information about the gender and
genetic makeup of the developing fetus. Fetal genetic
material can be detected in maternal blood early in
the pregnancy.
