GENETIC TESTING

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing refers to the analysis of an individual’s DNA to identify variations or mutations in specific genes, chromosomes, or proteins. It provides valuable information about a person’s genetic makeup and can help in assessing the risk of developing certain genetic disorders or passing them on to future generations. Here’s a short note on genetic testing.

Genetic testing has revolutionized the field of medicine by enabling healthcare professionals to better understand the genetic factors underlying various diseases and conditions. It involves collecting a sample of DNA, usually through a blood sample, saliva, or tissue, and analyzing it in a laboratory using advanced techniques.
