Definition
- Genetic testing includes prenatal and clinical diagnosis or prognosis of fetal abnormalities, predicting risk of disease, and identifying carriers of genetic disorders. Genetic testing is distinguished from genetic screening, which is offered to healthy people who might benefit from more information about their genetic risk profile.
