How old must the child be to have a paternity test performed?
There are no age limitations. The GeneSwabâ„¢ Specimen Collection kit can be used on infants. Expectant mothers can email family@consumergenetics.com to learn of other procedures/methods available for prenatal paternity testing. To test paternity before birth requires that Chorionic Villi Sampling (CVS) or Amniocentesis be performed to gather appropriate cells. DNA testing can also be performed post-mortem by collecting specimens at the coroner’s office.
