Kenya Prenatal DNA Test

Prenatal DNA Paternity Test in Kenya

The prenatal test determines whether a particular man is the biological father of an unborn child.

The prenatal paternity test is done before a baby is born to determine whether a particular man is the biological father of the unborn baby. There are two types of prenatal paternity test:

The non-invasive prenatal paternity test (NIPPT)

The invasive prenatal paternity test.

1. The Non-invasive Prenatal Paternity Test

The non-invasive prenatal paternity test (NIPPT) is done before a baby is born to determine whether a particular man is the biological father of the unborn baby. The test is 100% safe to the mother and child because fetal cells are obtained from maternal plasma and there is no need for amniocentesis.

100% safe and non-invasive.

Can also help determine the gender of the child.

Fast results - results come out in 10 working days.

Accuracy of up to 99.99%.

Testing can be done from as early as week 10 of pregnancy.

Legal or peace-of-mind reporting options are available.

Convenient appointments to suit your schedule.

Maternal blood is used to obtain fetal DNA without an invasive procedure.

Advanced sequencing and bioinformatics analysis are used to provide accurate and reliable results.

2. The Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test

For an invasive prenatal paternity test, a small volume of fluid is collected from the pregnant mother’s womb through amniocentesis. The child’s sample can alternatively be obtained through chorionic villus sampling (CVS), where tissue from the placenta is collected. The amniotic fluid or CVS sample is used to obtain the child’s DNA profile and compare it with the alleged father’s sample. The mother’s sample is also collected.

The alleged father’s and mother’s samples are preferably obtained using buccal (mouth) swabs.

Amniocentesis and CVS are associated with risks. Anyone considering invasive prenatal testing should first consult an obstetrician-gynaecologist or family doctor. The non-invasive prenatal paternity test is an alternative that does not require an invasive procedure.
