Discovering Baby’s Gender Early: The Magic of the Peekaboo Early Gender DNA Test 1024 819 adulick

Discovering Baby’s Gender Early: The Magic of the Peekaboo Early Gender DNA Test

For expectant parents, one of the most exciting milestones is discovering the gender of their baby. Thanks to advances in DNA technology, SC Diagnostics in Anderson, SC, is thrilled to partner with the Peekaboo Early Gender DNA Test—a revolutionary way to learn your baby’s gender as early as six weeks into pregnancy with over 99% accuracy.

How Does the Peekaboo Early Gender DNA Test Work?

Beginning at just five weeks of gestation, tiny fragments of DNA from the developing embryo begin circulating through the mother’s bloodstream via the placenta. If the baby is a boy, this DNA will carry a Y chromosome. If the baby is a girl, there will be no Y chromosome present. The Peekaboo DNA Gender Test detects the presence (or absence) of the Y chromosome by analyzing the mother’s blood sample using advanced quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology.

This cutting-edge technology is so sensitive and reliable that it can determine your baby’s gender with more than 99% accuracy as early as six weeks. Backed by a clinical study with 215 pregnant women across the U.S., this test proved to be a game-changer, showing an accuracy rate of 99.5%. Additionally, in a larger study with 552 participants, Peekaboo™ results aligned with confirmed fetal sex in over 99% of cases.

The Accuracy of the Peekaboo Early Gender DNA Test

The Peekaboo test was designed with precision in mind. During the clinical trials, samples were processed at the DNA Diagnostics Center, where sophisticated cell-free DNA extraction techniques and next-generation sequencing were used to confirm results. Whether your baby is six weeks or further along in pregnancy, you can trust that Peekaboo delivers unparalleled accuracy, making it an excellent choice for parents eager to find out their baby’s gender early.

Ensuring Accuracy at Every Step

To maintain the highest level of accuracy, we follow stringent testing protocols at SC Diagnostics. This begins at your home, where it’s crucial to prevent contamination from any male DNA—such as that from male pets, children, or a male partner—during the blood collection process.

Choosing SC Diagnostics for your Peekaboo Early Gender DNA Test means you’re placing your trust in a local, highly skilled team of professionals committed to providing reliable and accurate results. We understand the importance of this moment in your pregnancy journey and are here to support you every step of the way.
