6 Week Sneak Peek Clinical Early DNA Gender Blood Test
How does Sneak Peek Clinical work?
While every person has her own DNA in her bloodstream, a pregnant woman’s bloodstream also contains DNA from her unborn child. SneakPeek looks for male chromosomes in a small sample of mom’s blood. If male chromosomes are found, that means baby is a boy. If none are found, baby is a girl. SneakPeek is 99.9% accurate at 6 weeks into pregnancy.
What is the SneakPeek process?
At SneakPeek Labs, a test process called non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is used to analyze cell-free fetal DNA. Starting with a small sample of blood from mom, plasma is separated from whole blood by centrifuge and extracted cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) is analyzed for Y chromosomes, which are found only in males. The SneakPeek test is sensitive enough to find even a single Y chromosome, giving you confidence in your results.
Test results will be sent via text message and e-mail to the recipient listed when filling out the consent form. You will receive your test results within 72 hour or lesss, excluding weekends and major holidays. Because the SneakPeek lab is based in California, test result e-mails are typically received between 7pm-11pm Cental Time.
