Types and Benefits of Genetic Testing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Medical science has achieved many milestones by providing cures to many deadly diseases like TB, Malaria, and Hepatitis that have been a major concern in past decades. Now, medical science has crossed its level to the testing of genetic<\/strong> disorders<\/strong>. Different types of genetic testing are available in the market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a bygone era when Genetic Testing<\/a><\/strong> was associated only with Medical Research. But now, Medical Science is also focused on Genetic Testing of Clinical levels to prevent future diseases and disorders. That means, you as a consumer can also go to the Medical Institutions for personal genetic testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before jumping directly to the benefits,\nlet\u2019s understand: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\nis Genetic<\/strong> Testing<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genetic<\/strong> testing means examining your body DNA, a chemical unit of your body\nthat is responsible for the functioning of your body. It helps doctors to\nexamine changes (mutations) in your genes that may trigger illness or disease\nin the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter, if it can help to diagnose,\ntreat, and prevent illness, still there are limitations with Genetic Testing.\nThough it\u2019s an extreme medical test, it doesn\u2019t guarantee you to meet or\nprevent the risk of disease or disorder in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asking your Medical Geneticist about what\nto do with the results is more important than to know about your problems or certain disorders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why\nyou should go for Clinical Genetic Testing<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very important to opt for Genetic Testing as it can help doctors to determine the risk of developing genetic diseases, disorders, rare diseases. There are different types of Genetic Testing done to identify the real cause of disease or disorder [1,2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrier\nTesting:<\/strong> People, who have a family history of genetic\ndisorders such as Cystic Fibrosis or some sort of specific genetic disorders continued\nfrom generations, can go for Carrier genetic testing before getting pregnant or\nhaving a baby. The expanded version of Carrier Testing can detect mutant genes\ninside you and help you to stop carrying the same disorder to your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prenatal Testing:<\/strong> Prenatal tests can detect disorders in your baby\u2019s genes you are carrying in your womb. Prenatal<\/a> genetic testing is often done for the detection of any genetic disorders. A new testing technology, Cell-free DNA which is also known as Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening test(NIPS) has come into existence and is performed on the blood sample of the mother, hence having no risk in pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diagnostic\nTesting:<\/strong> The specific test is suggested to find out\nthe specific genetic or chromosomal condition by Geneticists. The Diagnostic<\/a> genetic test is\nhighly recommended in the cases of confirming a particular condition suspected\nby physical signs and symptoms. Diagnostic Tests can be run anytime; before\nbirth or any stage of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preimplantation\ntesting:<\/strong> Also known as Preimplantation Genetic\nDiagnosis (PGD), Preimplantation Testing is a popular method of reducing the\nrisk of having a child with some certain genetic disorders. Most preferably,\nthe test is prescribed to detect any genetic changes in embryos that had\nhappened due to reproductive techniques such as in-vitro fertilization\nperformed by a specialist. A small number of cells are taken from the embryos\nto perform Preimplantation Testing. These cells are then tested for certain genetic\nchanges. Embryos left without changes are implanted in the uterus to generate a\npregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newborn Screening:<\/strong> New Born Screening is a comprehensive test to screen a newborn\nbaby within 24-72 hours of birth. It identifies if your baby has an IEM\ndisorder (Inborn error of metabolism), that isn\u2019t otherwise observable at the\ntime of birth. These disorders are treatable if identified at an early stage in\nlife. Newborn\nscreening<\/a> helps in early diagnosis and proper treatment of these disorders\nthereby making a difference between lifelong impairment and healthy development\nof the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictive\n& Presymptomatic Testing:<\/strong> Predictive testing is\nperformed to detect gene mutations associated with disorders that often appear\nin the later stage of life. This kind of test helps those people who have\nfamily members with a genetic disorder, but who are not facing signs of the disorders\nat the time of testing. Presymptomatic testing can help doctors to identify\nmutations that increase the risk of having genetic disorders such as specific\ntypes of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forensic\nTesting:<\/strong> A sequence of DNA is used to detect\nsomeone\u2019s identity, which is known as Forensic genetic test, used for legal\npurposes. Unlike other genetic tests that are described above, Forensic\nTesting is not used to detect gene mutations associated with some kind of genetic\ndisorders. This type of test is run to identify crime or to find biological\nrelationships between people (Criminals and Victims).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we can say that Clinical Genetic Testing<\/strong> is going to find a cure and preventions\nfor so many diseases and disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
