Can My Unborn Child Be Tested to Determine the Paternity of the Father?
Yes. By obtaining a specimen from the fetus through chorionic villus sampling (CVS), DNA-based paternity testing can be done as early as 10 weeks into the pregnancy. With amniocentesis, paternity can be determined beginning at about the 15th week of pregnancy. Each year Genetics & IVF Institute (GIVF) safely performs thousands of these sampling procedures, and, if the need warrants, can make arrangements for prenatal paternity testing. For additional information about these prenatal sampling procedures, please consult your physician or contact us.
