Test can identify paternity 12 weeks into pregnancy - health - 17 August 2011 - New Scientist: Has one of the most in-demand but controversial genetic tests finally been mastered? That's the claim of the DNA Diagnostics Center in Fairfield, Ohio, which this week launched a paternity test that can be run on a sample of a pregnant woman's blood.
The new test comes with a hefty price tag: $1625. But if it performs as advertised, it would free women who want to verify who is the father of their unborn child from the need to undergo invasive procedures to sample fetal cells that carry a small risk of triggering a miscarriage.
