What is a paternity test for a child who is already born and during pregnancy?
The paternity test is a genetic examination that determines the biological origin of a child. For a child who has already been born, the test requires DNA samples – a buccal swab from the child and the alleged father.
During pregnancy, the test can be performed as early as the 9th gestational week using a blood sample from the mother, from which fetal DNA is isolated.
Both methods are completely safe and ensure 99% accuracy.
Why is it important to know who the father is?
Identifying the biological father is essential for the child's health. It allows for the identification of potential genetic diseases, hereditary predispositions, and other health factors that may be relevant to their future development and treatment. In cases requiring transplantation, for example, knowing the biological father can be vital.

Who and how should be examined?
For a child who has already been born, the test requires a DNA sample from the buccal mucosa of the child and the alleged father. More than one alleged father can be tested. A buccal mucosa sample is collected by non-invasive swabbing of the inside of the cheek.
During pregnancy, free-circulating fetal DNA is isolated from the mother's blood, and for this reason, the woman's blood sample is sufficient to perform the analysis.
What information does a paternity test provide?
The paternity test provides accurate information about whether a man is the biological father of a child. This result is particularly important for determining potential genetic risks and for making informed decisions regarding the child's health. With the help of this test, families can take appropriate preventive measures and better plan for future treatment, if necessary.
