Pre-implantation testing: This is done on embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) to select the ones that do not have certain genetic conditions before implanting them in the uterus. For example, pre-implantation testing can prevent passing on Huntington’s disease, cystic fibrosis, or hemophilia.
Predictive testing: This is done to estimate your risk of developing a genetic condition in the future or to guide your medical care. For example, predictive testing can assess your risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, or Alzheimer’s disease.
Forensic testing: This is done to identify individuals using their DNA for legal purposes. For example, forensic testing can be used for paternity testing, crime scene investigation, or identifying human remains.
