Abstract
Prenatal paternity testing was evaluated by DNA analysis in chorionic villus biopsies obtained during the 7th-22nd weeks of gestation. Using highly polymorphic variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) probes, we analysed four cases consisting of mother/child/alleged father trios. In all cases, we were able to detect maternal and paternal alleles and could establish or exclude paternity. The application of DNA analysis represents a new important diagnostic aid for all cases that require a prenatal identification of paternity.
