What is genetic testing? Genetic testing is a type of medical test that identifies changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins. The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a personâs chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder. More than 1,000 genetic tests are currently in use, and more are being developed.
Genetic testing is the analysis of chromosomes (DNA), proteins, and certain metabolites in order to detect heritable disease-related genotypes, mutations, phenotypes, or karyotypes for clinical purposes.. 1  It can provide information about a person's genes and chromosomes throughout life. Available types of testing include: 1  Cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) testing is a non-invasive (for the fetus) test. 2  Newborn screening: Newborn screening is used just after birth to identify genetic disorders that can be treated early in life. A blood sample is collected with a heel prick from the newborn 24â48 hours after birth and sent to the lab for analysis.
