Genetic Testing
Genetic testing is a testing approach to identify faulty genes in your genome. By undergoing a genetic test you can find which gene is responsible for your symptoms and thereby diagnose a disorder.
Genetic screening is focused on a whole population of people, trying to identify those specifically who are [at] increased risk to develop it or to have children with a condition in question or the condition being screened for
Hereditary Screening
Hereditary screening helps us identify a person or family member who might harbour a genetic condition. This person might have an increased risk of either having a disorder, developing that disorder, or potentially having children who may have that disorder as well.

Clinical Panels
Multiple genes are associated with a particular genetic disease sometimes. For this the analysis should be based on the combination of the genes to know more about the complex gene disease associations. The panel testing offered by Gene Aura covers a wide range of clinical areas that can be tailor- made to provide maximum flexibility with the most efficient pricing. These tests include complete genome sequencing, exon- level variants and single gene deletion/ duplication analysis. The appropriate intervention in the apt time is very crucial in the case of genetic disorders. This can improve prognosis. The at- risk members of the family can also be identified to prevent sudden death.
Gene Sequencing:
Determining the order of DNA building blocks in an individual’s genetic code, called DNA sequencing, has advanced the study of genetics and is one technique used to test for genetic disorders.
Gene sequencing or DNA sequencing has been developed to read the DNA.
Types of Genetic tests:
Whole Exome Sequencing(WES): genome sequencing technique for the protein-coding regions of the entire genome. WES is one of the widely used Next-generation sequencing methods.
Karyotyping /FISH: To analyse the chromosomal abnormalities these techniques are used. The disorders can be identified based on the number and arrangement of the chromosomes.
Microarray: Microarray is used to identify a small chromosomal deletion, duplication, or addition of an entire chromosome and/or large parts of multiple chromosomes being the same
NGS/ Sanger: Entire genome or exome sequencing techniques used either as a primary technique or as an confirmationtechnique to identify any identified variant.
Polymerase chain reaction(PCR): It is frequently used to identify genetic changes that can lead to disease, diagnose some infectious disorders, and occasionally even find minute numbers of cancer cells that might be overlooked by other kinds of tests.
It takes an experienced genetic counselor to analyse your personal history along with your family history and provide the type of genetic test that best fits.
