Frequently Asked Questions

Genetic testing is a process of testing genes and DNA to identify mutations or defects in the genes. These mutations can cause more than 3000 genetic disorders.
Genes are the coding regions of DNA present in our chromosomes. They code for different proteins that perform several functions in our body.
Any change or defect in the structure of the gene is called a mutation. Mutations in the gene can cause an abnormality or disorders in the individual with the mutation in their gene.
Not all genetic disorders are hereditary. Genetic disorders occurring in Somatic cells (cells other than Sperm or egg cells) are not hereditary. These genetic mutations are random events and cannot be passed to the next generation.
Genes are always present in pairs. In Dominant inheritance one copy of the Gene pair is defective. In Recessive both the gene copies are defective. In sex-Linked inheritance, only males are affected and females are unaffected carriers.
A genetic test is the ultimate diagnostic test. Once the disease-causing mutation is identified, prenatal diagnosis can be offered for all family members at risk to prevent genetic disorders. Some genetic tests identify a predisposition to cancer or other late-onset diseases so that preventive measures can be taken.
Prenatal diagnosis is testing the fetus to see if there are any genetic disorders affecting the fetus (before birth). Fetal genetic disorders are identified by genetic tests performed on Amniotic fluid or placental biopsy of the fetus.
Amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, and cordocentesis are standard invasive sampling procedures. These procedures are usually safe when done by experts under ultrasound guidance.
Genetic tests are either screening or diagnostic. Genetic screening tests will test if there is an elevated risk of a genetic disorder whereas diagnostic tests identify the defect with >99% accuracy. Genetic disorders can be identified at the chromosomal level or DNA level depending on the size of the defect involved. Cytogenetics (Karyotyping) is the study of chromosomes and Molecular genetics (Mutation analysis) is the study of DNA.
