What is a Genetic Test? 

Genetic tests examine your DNA and chromosome structure to provide information about predispositions to hereditary diseases, genetic disorders, or carrier status. Thanks to these tests, you can gain a deeper understanding of your own health and anticipate risks for future generations.
