It utilizes laboratory methods to study genes and chromosomes, in order to detect the presence of genetic diseases or the mutant forms of genes associated with high probabilities of developing genetic disorders, to design appropriate treatment. There are different types of genetic tests: Diagnostic testing, carrier testing, prenatal testing, pharmacogenomics testing, Research genetic testing and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).
