Genetic screening and the conditions it can detect
Genetic screening can detect over 1,000 genetic disorders, including sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, and muscular dystrophy.
Genetic screening can identify inherited mutations that increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 for breast and ovarian cancer.
Genetic screening can detect chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and Patau syndrome.
Genetic screening can detect genetic mutations associated with neurological disorders, such as Huntington's disease and fragile X syndrome .
Genetic screening can detect genetic mutations associated with metabolic disorders, such as phenylketonuria (PKU) and maple syrup urine disease (MSUD).
Genetic screening can identify genetic mutations that increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, such as familial hypercholesterolemia.
Genetic screening can detect genetic mutations associated with mental health conditions, such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
Genetic screening can detect rare genetic disorders, such as Tay-Sachs disease and Niemann-Pick disease.
Genetic screening can be used during pregnancy to detect genetic disorders and chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus.
Genetic screening can be used to detect genetic disorders in newborns, allowing for early intervention and treatment.
