Detailed explanation-1: -Understanding how variations in an individual’s DNA may affect disease and health is the focus of genomic medicine. This knowledge can lead to: Innovative ways to diagnose disease. Earlier detection, by identifying genetic predisposition to a particular disease.
Detailed explanation-2: -Researchers can analyze information from millions of places in the genome to study traits or determine inherited risk for major diseases. In many cases, people with a high risk for a disease due to numerous genetic variants scattered across the genome are not aware of it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic tests are done using a blood or spit sample and results are usually ready in a few weeks. Because we share DNA with our family members, if you are found to have a genetic change, your family members may have the same change.
Detailed explanation-4: -Understanding genetic factors and genetic disorders is important in learning more about promoting health and preventing disease. Some genetic changes have been associated with an increased risk of having a child with a birth defect or developmental disability or developing diseases such as cancer or heart disease.
