Genetic Screens
Genetic screens are medical tests used to identify changes in an individual's genes that may indicate an underlying medical condition. Genetic screens can detect disorders such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and Tay-Sachs disease. The tests are done using a blood or saliva sample and are especially useful for individuals with a family history of certain conditions or disorders. Genetic screens can help provide insight into an individual's genetic makeup and can provide the necessary information for early detection and treatment of genetic diseases.
