Genetic Laboratory Testing: Types of Tests and Where They Are Performed
Publicado el: 28/03/2023
What are laboratory genetic tests?
Laboratory genetic tests are those that, through an exhaustive analysis, serve as a diagnostic test to detect different diseases, confirm the relationship between several patients or to know the genetic fingerprint of a person for multiple purposes. All these genetic tests are carried out in laboratories specialized in genetics, where early detection tests for different diseases are carried out, such as certain cancers or Alzheimer’s, tests during pregnancy, paternity tests and other genetic tests.
Laboratory genetic tests are also very useful for doctors to have additional information about the patient. Similarly, clinical tests for early detection of diseases allow for advance treatment of each diagnosis and, in this way, significantly slow down or delay its effects, as occurs thanks to the early Alzheimer’s detection test, among others.
