– A new analysis method allows to find out the sex of the baby from the second month of pregnancy

Up to now it was necessary to wait until the fourth or fifth month

The spin off of the University of Granada Lorgen, in collaboration with the Foetal Medicine Unit of the Maternity Hospital Virgen de las Nieves of Granada, has managed to develop a genetic trial that identifies the sex of the foetus from the eighth week of pregnancy separating the DNA found in the plasma of the pregnant woman. This new finding has been tested through a clinical trial in 120 pregnant women, under the coordination Dr Sebastián Manzanares (Foetal Medicine Unit of the Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital). The method’s effectiveness rate is above 98%. Although the test can be carried out from the sixth week of pregnancy, the reliability of the technique is much higher from the eighth.
