Baby Gender Test

Baby DNA Gender Testing in Kenya

The baby gender test determines the sex of an unborn child from as early as week 8

The DNA gender test determines the sex of the unborn child. It can be conducted after eight weeks of pregnancy and only a sample of the mother’s blood is needed.

This means that the mother doesn’t have to wait until the pregnancy is 20 weeks to determine her baby’s gender through ultrasound.

The early gender DNA test is based on the fact that the baby’s DNA, known as cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA), circulates freely in the mother’s blood. The cffDNA can be extracted from the mother’s blood and presence of the Y chromosome analyzed.

The early gender DNA test is more accurate than the ultrasound test which has an average accuracy of just over 90% or lower in other settings. The accuracy of the early gender DNA test goes up to 99%. Other advantages of the early gender DNA test are that.

Unlike the invasive test where the amniotic fluid sample from the mother is drawn using amniocentesis, only the maternal blood is used in this test and fetal DNA is obtained from the maternal blood.

The test has been scientifically validated and approved and is done using the most advanced scientific methods and DNA high-sequencing instruments. A rigorous bioinformatics analysis helps to provide accurate and reliable results. You can click here to read the publication

Extracted cffDNA can be analyzed to check whether the fetus is at risk of developing chromosomal disorders such as Down’s Syndrome

The rhesus D status of the fetus can be determined thereby preventing hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDNB) or preventing the unnecessary use of Anti-D
