Who is tested in a Prenatal DNA test?
Participation of the mother is required as the laboratory needs to distinguish her DNA from the unborn babys DNA in the prenatal sample, which contains cells from both the mother and the fœtus. Other forms of relationship test can be carried out using prenatal samples. Who will take Prenatal DNA Samples? We at Horizons do not carry out the surgical procedures described here. Our laboratories have sourced a trusted and well respected fœtal medical centre based in London. The medical centre charges 450 which you would pay directly to the centre. This is in addition to the cost of the DNA test. The procedures are not available on the NHS for paternity testing. To discuss a pre-natal DNA test please contact us.
