…… is a new riskless method to investigate paternity during pregnancy on the basis of blood samples.

Until now the only possible way to analyse prenatal samples is after either chorionic villi sampling or amniotic puncture which both are invasive methods and not free of risk for the child and some pain for the mother.

Now with this newly developed risk-free prenatal paternity test only blood samples of the mother and the alleged father are taken in the laboratory. Complications resulting in possible miscarriage can be completely eliminated.

the procedure of the test:

• arrange appointment in the lab
• venous blood is drawn from mother and alleged father

The new technique uses fetal DNA from maternal plasma and compares 317000 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from paternal, maternal and fetal DNA to get a paternity index of more than 99,9% for a proven paternity or a 100% exclusion. The SNPs are detectable from the 9th week of gestation.

The biostatistic algorithms to calculate the genetic differences between alleged father and child are patented by Natera (Parental Support ™), a US company from which Confidence has the licence to provide the test in Middle Europe.

The non invasive prenatal paternity test Confidence is now available as pioneering innovation for kinship questions in Europe and provides parents with security and comfort that is absolutely necessary in their sensible situation.

Results are given 8 days after sampling.

THE INVASIVE PRENATAL PATERNITY TEST

is done through biopsy of fetal material by a gynecologist: chorionic villi sampling or amniotic puncture.

risk of abortion 0,5% - 1%, our doctors Professor Dr. Deutinger or Dr. Bernaschek from the "Ambulatorium für pränatale Diagnostik GYNSCHALL in 1180 Wien, Theresiengasse 46" are very experienced. That is why we recommend this institute:

the procedure of the test:

• arrange a date for punction directly: 0043-1-4028424.
• We will be there and take both the fetal sample as samples of the mother and the alleged father.

Results are given within 2 days after sampling.
