Genetic Diagnosis

Genetic diagnosis is a medical process that examines a person's DNA to identify genetic disorders or predispositions to certain diseases. Through tests such as blood samples or saliva, doctors can find variations in genes that may cause conditions like cystic fibrosis or certain cancers. This information can help in early detection, treatment planning, and understanding inherited risks for future generations. By knowing their genetic makeup, individuals can make informed choices about their health and that of their family. It plays a vital role in personalized medicine, tailoring healthcare to each person's unique genetic profile.
