DNA testing is a medical test that identifies changes and variations/mutations in genetic sequence, chromosome structure or proteins.
The results of a DNA test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine your risk of developing a certain condition or passing on a genetic disorder.
DNA tests study genetic sequences to identify variations (mutations) in genes that can cause or increase the risk of a genetic disorder.
DNA tests can be narrow or large in scope, analyzing a DNA building block (nucleotide), genes, or a person’s genome (all of a person’s genetic information).
Chromosomes contain long strings of genes. Chromosomal DNA tests analyze the entire chromosome to identify if there are significant genetic changes, e.g., trisomy (any extra copy chromosome in cells instead of the normal 2 copies) that cause a genetic condition.
Biochemical DNA tests study the amount or activity level of proteins or enzymes. Abnormalities identified in either can indicate changes to the DNA that result in a genetic disorder.
DNA tests can be performed using genetic materials usually taken from a sample of saliva, blood, urine, skin, hair, bone, hair, teeth, amniotic fluid (the fluid surrounding a foetus during pregnancy), or other tissues and cells.
A common procedure would be a cheek swab (buccal smear), where a sample of cells from the inside surface of the cheek is collected using a small brush or cotton swab. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for testing.
DNA testing has potential benefits, whether it reveals positive or negative results for a gene mutation.
Many fear the unknown. High intolerance of uncertainty may result in anxiety and anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder and eating disorders.
A negative result can eliminate the need for unnecessary check-ups and screenings in some cases.
Some test results can help you make important decisions in family planning.
A positive result allows you to know your genetic risks for diseases early and can direct you towards available prevention, control, and treatment options.
Newborn screening can identify genetic disorders early in life, so that treatment can be commenced as early as possible.
DNA testing is an important and useful healthcare tool that can give you much information about your body.
Genetic Predisposition
A DNA test result can reveal whether you are predisposed to certain traits based on your genetic variant.
Valuable Insights About Your Health
A DNA test can diagnose and predict your genetic risks for developing cancers or major diseases so you can start taking the right preventive steps.
Make Your Results Actionable
You can also make your results actionable by making informed decisions about managing your health and lifestyle.
Early Actions Save Lives
Knowing your genetic variant for a particular disease early could lead you to make positive and behavioural changes to your lifestyle to help lower the risk of getting that disease.
Committed to providing the highest-standard DNA test through cutting-edge technology.
DNA extracted via a cheek swab (buccal smear — sampling of cells from the inside surface of the cheek).
All DNA tests are analyzed and validated by a laboratory duly accredited in medical testing.
You won’t be left clueless, as our medical professional will go through your DNA test results.
Yes, it is possible, as long as the requirement for legal consent for a minor child and other participants is met.
Suppose you are a man seeking paternity answers through a DNA paternity test. In that case, the mother’s permission is not mandatory if you are the legitimate father listed on the minor child’s birth certificate.
To take a secret DNA paternity test, you will need to supply a sample from each person, usually a mouth swab (for the father), and a discreet sample for the child.
If you are the biological father, you and the child will share enough DNA markers to confirm a biological relationship. This will not be the case if you are not the biological father.
