Gene Testing

Gene testing involves analyzing a person's DNA to identify genetic variations that may affect health, disease risk, or inherited traits. This process can help diagnose genetic disorders, determine the likelihood of developing certain diseases, and guide personalized treatments or lifestyle choices. Tests can be done using a sample of blood, saliva, or tissue. While gene testing provides valuable insights, it also raises ethical considerations, such as privacy concerns and implications for family members. Understanding the results requires careful interpretation by healthcare professionals to help individuals make informed decisions about their health.
