What is Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test Powered by Vangenes Inc?

Paternity testing, often referred to in Thai as “DNA testing,” is a genetic examination used to establish the biological relationship between a father and child. It relies on genetic testing technology, or DNA analysis, to identify similarities or differences between the child and the alleged father. This examination is based on the fundamental principle that children inherit genetic material equally from both their mother and father.

The test will be forwarded to a standardized laboratory located in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. This laboratory holds certification from the National Health and Wellness Commission (NHSC).

Service format

Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing offers confirmation of the father-son relationship, possible from as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy. This is achieved by extracting 8-10 milliliters of the mother’s blood, preserving it in a tube for cf-DNA analysis, and obtaining a sample from the alleged father, either by drawing 2-5 ml of blood or swabbing the buccal. The accuracy exceeds 99.9999%. Results typically take around 10-14 days to process.

Who should get tested?

No, not father and child: This result suggests a <0.01% probability of paternity, meaning the tested individuals are not genetically related.
