The Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Test (NIPP) by DDC (DNA Diagnostics Center) is a genetic test that determines the paternity of a baby before birth using a blood sample from the mother and the alleged father. It is considered one of the safest and most reliable methods available to test paternity during pregnancy, with no risk to the baby.

Consider this test in the following cases:
The panel includes:
All DNA. The DDC test uses an advanced DNA analysis technique called Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to isolate and analyze free fetal DNA circulating in the mother’s blood, without the need for invasive procedures. The test can be performed from the 8th week of pregnancy, providing early and reliable results.
The methodology used for this test is as follows:
Blood: No fasting required.
