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, also known as DNA testing, allows the genetic diagnosis of vulnerabilities to inherited diseases, and can also be used to determine a child's parentage (genetic mother and father) or in general a person's ancestry or biological relationship between people. These tests can be helpful to people who have a family member with a genetic disorder, but who have no features of the disorder themselves at the time of testing. 2  Predictive testing can identify mutations that increase a person's chances of developing disorders with a genetic basis, such as certain types of cancer.
