DNA Testing

DNA testing refers to the process of examining an individual's DNA markers, and analyzing genetic composition. It has become an incredibly useful investigative tool in the medical field, with applications such as examination of hereditary disorders, to determination of biological relationships between individuals to human identification.

With over 15 years of experience, Reproductive Genetics Institute (RGI) provides a variety of services using DNA analysis including:

• Home DNA Paternity Test

Treatment Value:

The results of the tests are given to the couple after the tests are completed. Genetic testing can be predictive, discovering whether an individual has an inherited disposition to a certain disease, before symptoms appear. Genetic testing can also confirm a diagnosis if symptoms are present. The Genetic Tests can determine whether a person is a carrier for a disease. Carriers can pass on a faulty gene to their children. Prenatal testing can help expectant parents know whether their child will have a genetic disease or disorder. Newborn screening tests infants for abnormal or missing gene products. After the testing our genetic counselors will:

• Interpret the results of the tests
• Explain possible treatments or preventative measures
• Discuss reproductive options
