Patient's question:
My wife is five months pregnant. Last week, she had a non-invasive DNA test. Others said that the results of this test can show whether it's a boy or a girl. How to read the non-invasive DNA report to determine the gender?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, in this case where you sought consultation, non-invasive DNA testing primarily involves collecting the pregnant woman's venous blood, extracting the free fetal DNA from it, and using gene sequencing technology to carefully check the baby's gender. If the fetal sex chromosomes are XX, it is a girl; if they are XY, it is a boy. However, in China, gender confirmation is not allowed. You need to be patient and wait. It is recommended to maintain good prenatal care, ensure a balanced diet, and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. If any abnormal conditions arise, seek follow-up treatment promptly.
