Answer 1

Answer:

• Testing involves analyzing the database which carries instructions for the capabilities of your body, your DNA.
• Genetic testing may show changes (mutations) in your genes that might lead to disease or illness.
• Although testing can provide information that is important there are limits.
• As an instance, if you are an individual, a positive result from testing does not always mean that you can develop a disorder.
• In certain scenarios, on the other hand, a negative result does not guarantee you won't possess an ailment.
• Talking to your physician, a medical geneticist or a genetic counselor is a significant step in the practice of testing.
