What is Genetic Testing ?
Genetic testing involves examining DNA to detect genetic mutations, inherited disorders, and predispositions to diseases. It helps diagnose genetic conditions, predict future health risks, and guide personalized treatment plans. Genetic testing can be done through blood, saliva, or cheek swabs to analyze the genes involved in specific diseases.
