Genetic testing is a medical procedure that examines your DNA for any changes which could indicate various conditions or diseases. The tests scrutinize genes, chromosomes, and proteins in your cells, and can be conducted for numerous reasons such as prenatal testing, newborn screening, and carrier testing among others【9†(MedlinePlus)】. The process often involves collecting a blood or cheek swab sample, which is then sent to a lab for analysis. While genetic testing can provide valuable insights, it also has potential drawbacks including emotional, social, or financial challenges, depending on the results.
