From the moment a pregnancy is confirmed, many parents wonder, 'Will it be a boy or a girl?' Furthermore, they often become curious about more than just gender, wondering, 'What kind of child will they grow up to be?', 'Will they be good at sports or academics?', or 'Will their physical traits resemble mine?' In fact, many of our physical traits and characteristics are influenced by the DNA inherited from our parents. Various studies have shown that genetic factors play a role in everything from height and physique trends to metabolic characteristics, mood tendencies, and even certain cognitive traits. Babies also form their unique personalities based on the genetic information inherited from each of their parents. Today, thanks to advancements in genetic analysis technology, it is possible to analyze fetal DNA contained in maternal blood during pregnancy to determine not only gender but also genetic tendencies related to talents and physical traits. We have entered an era where we can understand a baby's characteristics from a multifaceted perspective as early as the first trimester. These testing services are provided by the seeDNA Genetic Medical Institute. In addition to the baby's gender, the test can simultaneously examine genetic tendencies related to talents such as 'memory,' 'mathematical ability,' and 'spatial awareness,' as well as physical traits like 'height trends,' 'predisposition to weight gain,' 'mood tendencies,' and 'sleep duration patterns.' Blood samples can be collected at over 300 affiliated medical institutions across all 47 prefectures in Japan, with a comprehensive support system in place. Knowing a baby's personality at an early stage can help reduce anxiety and serve as a reference for birth preparation and childcare planning. By learning about their gender and genetic tendencies, parents can feel a closer connection to their unborn child, further deepening the bonds of the family.
