Gender Determination by PCR
ProPath offers a convenient and affordable option to find out your baby’s gender as early as 8 weeks by asking your physician to order ProPath ProXY Gender Reveal. With only one tube of blood, ProPath is able to detect Y-chromosome from fetal DNA circulating in your blood using PCR technology. A result will be reported to your physician within 24 - 48 hours from time of receipt.
How It Works
Step 1:
The ProPath ProXY Gender Reveal assay uses rapid, real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to detect Y-Chromosome (male) fetal DNA circulating in the mother’s blood.
Step 2:
A single tube of blood is drawn from a pregnant woman.
Step 3:
Circulating, cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) is extracted from the sample and analyzed.
Step 4:
ProPath’s technology accurately detects the presence or absence of Y-chromosome (male) DNA, determining whether the baby is male or female.
