DNA testing has provided the biggest revolution in the identification of criminals since the adoption of fingerprinting in the early part of last century. Still, the technology has limitations. Most genetic tests take 24-72 hours but the time taken for DNA to go from crime scene to identification can span as long as 14 days. By the time that the results are back, the suspects often have been released.
How long does it take to get genetic test results? Commercial labs often give faster results (usually within 2 to 4 weeks) than research centers (a minimum of 4 weeks, often longer). How will you get your results? Typically, results are sent to your doctor or genetic counselor, who reports them to you. A critical part of genetic risk assessment is the responsible and sensitive disclosure of test results. Be sure to ask your doctor or genetic counselor when, how, and where you will find out the results. You may wish to bring someone with you when you get your results.
