In some situations, it is necessary to prove
the paternity of a child before the child is
born.
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a medical
procedure that is typically performed at 10-12
weeks gestational age. In this procedure a sampling
of the placental tissue is taken and tested.
The Amniocentesis sampling is a medical procedure
that is typically performed at 15+ weeks gestational
age. In this procedure fetal cells from the
amniotic fluid are used to perform a cytogenetic
analysis.
To
complete paternity testing, a buccal swab sample
is also required from the mother and alleged father
in both procedures.
The CVS and Amniocentesis
procedures must be performed by an OB/GYN. Dad
Test works with a network of experienced physicians
and genetic counselors across the country who
will meet with you to explain the procedures and
risks involved, and provide the services you need
