Prenatal Paternity Test

A: A prenatal paternity test uses cell-free DNA from the developing fetus floats freely in the bloodstream of the pregnant mother. This DNA can be found as early as the 7th week of pregnancy. With our exclusive technology that has been published in Genetics in Medicine, DDC develops a DNA profile of the fetus’s DNA and compares the profile to the DNA profile of the possible father.

A: The CertaintyTM Prenatal Paternity Test is available starting at $155 per month with our Affirm financing partnership. The cost of the test varies depending on the number of tested parties, speed of turnaround required (we can process your samples in as little as 3 days), and type of sample provided for the potential father(s). Please call our knowledgeable DNA specialists to learn more and get started.
