How DNA-Based Gender Reveal Tests Work: What Expecting Parents Should Know
Are you curious about your baby’s gender before birth? DNA-based gender reveal testing provides an accurate, safe, and early way to learn your baby’s gender, often from as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy. Unlike traditional ultrasound, which may be less accurate in early pregnancy, DNA testing analyzes fetal genetic material in the mother’s blood for over 99% accuracy.
ARG Diagnostic Testing partners with DDC Laboratories to bring you safe, accurate DNA gender testing in Chicago, NW Indiana, and Kankakee. With our results available as early as 7 weeks, you can start planning your gender reveal party early and celebrate your baby’s big moment with confidence.
How DNA Gender Reveal Testing Works
During pregnancy, a small amount of fetal DNA circulates in the mother’s bloodstream. This is known as cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA). DNA gender testing involves analyzing this genetic material to identify the presence of X and Y chromosomes.
X chromosome → Female baby
Y chromosome → Male baby
The process is simple and safe:
A blood sample is collected from the mother starting at 7 weeks pregnant.
The sample is sent to DDC Laboratories, a certified lab that specializes in prenatal DNA testing.
Laboratory specialists isolate the fetal DNA and analyze it for chromosomal markers.
Results are delivered confidentially, often within 2–3 business days.
Accuracy of DNA Gender Tests
DNA-based gender testing through DDC is highly accurate, with results typically greater than 99% accurate after 7 weeks of pregnancy. Factors that can influence accuracy include:
Maternal weight and blood volume
Timing of the test (testing too early may reduce detectable fetal DNA)
Quality of the laboratory performing the analysis
Peer-reviewed studies confirm that DNA testing is reliable and safe and is the preferred method for early gender determination.
