What Is a Prenatal DNA Test?
A prenatal DNA paternity test determines the biological father of an unborn child using the baby's cell-free fetal DNA found naturally in the mother's bloodstream. This non-invasive prenatal paternity (NIPP) test requires only a blood draw from the mother and a buccal swab from the alleged father — no amniocentesis, no needles in the womb, no risk to the pregnancy. It can be performed as early as 7 weeks of gestation with accuracy greater than 99.9%. Results are for personal use only; a separate legal test is required for court purposes.
