Genetic Testing
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Genetic testing analyzes an individual's DNA sequence to detect a specific gene variant already known to be associated with a disease.
Show
A laboratory test can detect whether a sample carries a specific disease-associated sequence variant, distinct from evaluating the person's health directly.
Watch for
A genetic test detects only the specific variants it targets, so a negative result does not rule out the disease.
