Diagnostic Genetic Testing

Diagnostic genetic testing is a medical procedure that analyzes a person's DNA to identify genetic disorders or conditions. It can help diagnose a specific disease, clarify the cause of symptoms, or assess the risk of passing on genetic conditions to future generations. Samples, often taken from blood or saliva, are tested in a lab. The results can guide treatment options, inform family planning, and provide valuable information for managing health. This testing is particularly useful for individuals with a family history of genetic disorders or unexplained medical issues.
