Genetic Screening

Genetic screening is a test that examines a person’s DNA to identify genetic disorders or risks for certain diseases. This process can help individuals understand their genetic makeup, determine the likelihood of inheriting or passing on certain conditions, and make informed healthcare decisions. It can be used for newborns, prenatal testing, or adults considering family planning. By detecting specific genes or mutations, genetic screening aids in early diagnosis, monitoring, and potentially guiding treatment options, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes.
