Genetic profiling is the analysis of DNA from samples of body tissues or fluids, especially when conducted in order to predict the susceptibility to a specific disease and disorder such as cancer, diabetes, gout and cardiovascular diseases, among others. This procedure also screens for genetic markers related to adverse reactions towards drugs commonly used in treating certain diseases. This information may assist in prescribing a safer and more effective medical treatment plan for you. It can also screen for traits linked to your overall health and wellness.
By having a better knowledge of some of the genetic risks for a disease, you will be in a position to make positive changes to your lifestyle and diet.
