	The prenatal DNA Test can be performed at any age

The accuracy of the test is not affected by the age of the child or fetus tested. If you are pregnant, you may choose to collect a sample for DNA Identity/Parentage Test from your child in one of the following ways:

Prior to Birth of the Child (Prenatal Testing).

Prenatal DNA Test is only performed if the mother undergoes:
- Chorionic villis sampling (taking a small piece of the placenta)
- Amniocentesis (collection of fluid that bathes the baby)

DNA Testing is usually performed as an adjunct to the medical tests your obstetrician plans to perform. We do NOT recommend the performance of amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling solely for parentage determination.

During Birth of the Child (Umbilical Cord Collection)

The Child's blood sample may be collected from the umbilical cord during birth. In such cases, we supply the mother with an umbilical cord blood collection kit prior to the baby's birth.

Anytime After Birth

- A buccal test swabbing of the inside of the child's cheek may be performed.
- The child's blood sample may be collected at any time after birth. Only 5 to 10 drops of blood are required for this test.
