The method <strong>is non-invasive and poses very low risks to the mother and fetus<\/strong>. However, it is technically advanced and requires special equipment and expertise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another method is to use <strong>chorionography oramniocentesis<\/strong>, but these are <strong>invasive and carry risks such as miscarriage.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Costs<\/strong>:.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prenatal paternity testing<\/strong> is <strong>extremely expensive<\/strong>. <strong>Non-invasive<\/strong> methods typically cost <strong>several hundred thousand yen<\/strong>. <strong>Invasive methods are similarly expensive<\/strong> and may incur additional medical costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post-natal paternity test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Technical point<\/strong>:.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Postnatal paternity testing<\/strong> involves DNA analysis <strong>usingcells taken from the inside of the cheek of the<\/strong> born child (cheek cells) or a <strong>blood sample<\/strong>.Technically, it is relatively simple and can <strong>be carried out without special medical facilities<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The accuracy of the analysis is very high, with a probability of proving a parent-child relationship of <strong><mark>more than 99.99%<\/mark><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Costs<\/strong>:.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Postnatal paternity testing is less expensive than prenatal testing<\/strong>.It can be carried out <strong>for between several tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of yen<\/strong>, and private kits are available on the market for easy access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General considerations.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Risks<\/strong>: <strong>prenatal paternity testing<\/strong> is low-risk if <strong>non-invasive<\/strong> methods are used, while invasive methods increase the risks.
