KIR (Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptor) haplotype evaluation
The KIR haplotype (A/B) determination method allows for the identification of the mother's genetic makeup in the region of KIR receptors. These receptors play a crucial role in the communication between the mother's immune system and the embryo during pregnancy, where they recognize HLA-C molecules on the embryo's surface. Analysis of the KIR haplotype can help reveal specific maternal genotypes that, in combination with the fetal HLA-C, may be associated with a higher risk of pregnancy complications.

2 weeksNon-invasive paternity test (upon agreement) from week 11 of the pregnancy
A non-invasive paternity test is performed upon agreement with the laboratory from week 11 of the pregnancy. The test is carried out from the blood of the mother, which contains the free DNA of the foetus, and the blood of the putative father. The test can only be carried out in singleton pregnancies (it is not possible to test the paternity of twins).
