DNA Testing Michigan

What is DNA testing?

DNA testing is also commonly referred to as genetic testing. This test samples blood, skin, hair, tissue or amniotic fluid to determine changes in the genes, chromosomes, and/or proteins of the body. It can also determine whether or not you have – or may develop – a genetic disorder, and, if so, the chances of you passing them on to your children.

What diseases can be detected through DNA testing?

DNA testing can reveal multiple conditions but it’s not flawless as there are conditions it does not detect. Likewise, positive DNA tests don’t necessarily guarantee a condition will develop in a child but they often confirm or rule out different conditions. Below are some conditions DNA tests detect:

Down syndrome

A genetic chromosome 21 disorder causing developmental and intellectual delays.

Sickle cell disease
