Family/Personal Genetics: DNA Testing and Counsel
Various applications of genetic tests are now within the public's reach, thanks to advances in biomedical research and genomics technologies. There are many types of genetic tests, however, each is designed to address a question or a set of questions. Genetic tests are being used frequently in human medicine. The patient’s genetic profile can provide a valuable insight to how that patient will respond to certain treatments. For instance, an oncologist can tailor the type of cancer therapy used based on the patient's genetic makeup. Other genetic tests are designed to reveal an individual's susceptibility to specific diseases such as Cystic Fibrosis, breast cancer, or Parkinson Disease. Genetic tests can be used in forensic investigations, to ascertain the biological relatedness or kinship between individuals, to reveal the identity of the missing or deceased, or simply to determine someone’s ethnic decent. Genetic tests can be expensive, and the results are not always straightforward. Whether you are considering a genetic test for a serious reason or just mere curiosity, ForensiGen personalizes your counsel based on your specific situation and circumstances. Consider asking ForensiGen the following questions:
Which type of test is best for my specific needs and my specific situation?

What will the test entail, and how can I be prepared?
Which laboratory should I choose for a specific test?
