Genetic Testing Services
DNA genetic testing and screening are tests that are used to confirm or disprove a suspected DNA change. Genetic testing is done for a particular condition where an individual is suspected of being at increased risk due to their family history or the result of a genetic screening test. Genetic screening is done for a particular condition in individuals, groups or populations without family history of the condition. DNA genetic tests are very accurate and used for diagnosis and screening including prenatal, genetic carrier testing and screening, presymptomatic and predictive testing.
Different types of genetic tests are used depending on whether an individual’s chromosomes, the protein-product of a gene, or the DNA itself are examined. Tissues tested include blood, skin, saliva and hair follicles and, prenatally, embryo, placental tissue and amniotic fluid.
For more information about genetic testing, types of genetic testing and how they are done can be found on our genetic testing information page.
