What is Genetic Testing?

Genetic testing involves analyzing your DNA—the blueprint of your body—to uncover information about your genetic makeup. Genetic samples can be collected from various sources, including blood, saliva, hair, skin, or amniotic fluid.

What is the DNA sample analyzed for?

The DNA in the sample is analyzed to identify changes or mutations that can increase your risk for certain genetic conditions including hereditary cancers, metabolic disorders, and more.

Different types of genetic testing include:

  • Single Gene Testing: Identifies mutations in a specific gene associated with a particular condition, such as sickle cell disease or Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
  • Panel Testing: Examines multiple genes at once to assess risks for conditions like epilepsy or hearing impairment.
  • Large-Scale Testing: Analyzes extensive portions or the entirety of your DNA, useful for complex conditions like cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Benefits of Genetic Testing

  • Early Detection and Prevention: Identify risks before symptoms appear, allowing for early intervention.
  • Personalized Treatment: Tailor medical treatments to your genetic profile for more effective results.
  • Informed Family Planning: Understand genetic risks that could be passed to your children.
  • Lifestyle Optimization: Receive personalized recommendations for diet, fitness, and wellness based on your genetic makeup.
