Heartland Women’s Healthcare is excited to offer early gender DNA testing in partnership with SneakPeek Clinical.
Expecting mothers do NOT need to be a Heartland patient for this test.
How Does SneakPeek 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 99.1% accurate at 8 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.
When and How Will I Get My Results?
Test results will be sent via e-mail to the e-mail address listed when filling out the consent form. You will receive your test results within 24-48 hours, excluding Sundays and major holidays. Because the SneakPeek lab is based in California, test result e-mails are typically received after 6pm CST. For tests performed on a Friday, results will likely be received on Tuesday.
What Is The Cost of The Early Gender DNA Test?
At Heartland Women’s Healthcare, the SneakPeek Clinical early gender DNA tests cost $149. This fee is not covered by insurance and is due before the test is performed.
