Also known as: molecular diagnostics.
Molecular genetic testing refers to a wide variety of tests performed on blood and tissue to screen for genetic disorders. It can be performed on unborn babies or other people to determine if they are carriers of a particular disease. The test examines cells or strands of DNA to look for signs of a genetic disorder.
All that’s required for the test is a basic blood draw, typically from the arm but sometimes from another area of the body. Then the blood sample is taken to a laboratory for testing.
