Genetic testing

Genetic Testing : Gene tests (also called DNA-based tests), the newest and most sophisticated of the techniques used to test for genetic disorders, involve direct examination of the DNA molecule itself.

Genetic Testing
Genetic testing is the use of a laboratory test to look for genetic variations associated with a disease.

Genetic testing is used to determine if a person is a carrier of a particular gene, which then may lead to a determination of whether the person is predisposed to a particular disease or presymptomatic for a particular disease.

Genetic testing (o r genetic screening): A technique used to determine whether a person or organism has a certain gene.

Newborns commonly receive genetic testing. The tests detect genetic defects that can be treated to prevent death or disease in the future.

Global health issues, environmental quality and genetic testing
