What is genetic testing?
Genetic testing is a type of medical test that identifies changes in genes, chromosomes, or proteins.
Genetic testing results can confirm or rule out a predicted genetic condition or help determine the likelihood of a person developing or transmitting a genetic disorder.
More than 77,000 genetic tests are currently in use and more are being developed.
Genetic testing involves looking for changes in:
Gen
Genetic testing studies DNA sequences to identify variations (mutations) in genes that may cause or increase the risk of genetic disorders. Genetic tests can be narrow or broad in scope, analyzing individual DNA building blocks (nucleotides), one or more genes, or all of a person's DNA (called their genome).
Chromosome
Chromosomal genetic testing analyzes entire chromosomes or long stretches of DNA to see if there are major genetic changes, such as an extra copy of a chromosome, that are causing the genetic condition. transmit.
The protein
Biochemical genetic tests study the amount or activity level of proteins or enzymes; Abnormalities in either may indicate changes in the DNA that lead to a genetic disorder.
