    Genes are the basic units of heredity, carrying DNA or RNA sequences with genetic information, which are transmitted to the next generation through replication, and guide the synthesis of proteins to express the genetic information they carry, so as to control the expression of traits in biological individuals. Genetic testing is a technology for DNA detection through blood, other body fluids, or cells, which is a method of taking the peripheral venous blood or other tissue cells of the tested person, expanding its genetic information, and testing the DNA molecular information in the cells of the tested person through specific equipment, analyzing the gene type and gene defects it contains and whether its expression function is normal, so that people can understand their own genetic information, and clearly or predict the risk of a certain disease in the body.

    Genetic testing can be used to diagnose diseases and can also be used to determine the risk of disease**. Disease diagnosis is the use of genetic testing technology to detect mutated genes that cause hereditary diseases. At present, the most widely used genetic testing is the detection of neonatal hereditary diseases, the diagnosis of genetic diseases and the auxiliary diagnosis of some common diseases.

    Modern people attach great importance to health, especially in the case of high incidence of cancer, many people are worried that they will have cancer, or the potential risk of cancer, so they plan to do a genetic test first, through high-tech means to understand whether there is a disease in their body. But at present, there are many people who regret doing genetic testing, so what's going on? Let's take a look.

    People regret doing genetic testing, because there are many risks in doing genetic testing to detoxify, and in the United States, it is strictly forbidden for any company to pass genetic testing ** cancer service, and there will be many unfavorable factors after genetic testing. In addition, for most people, genetic testing is not necessary, because its test results may not be of reference value, but people will feel nervous and anxious because of the test results.

    In addition, people regret genetic testing, mainly because the testing company may take the tester's gene to do some illegal things, the gene is like a person's ID card, everyone's gene is different, when their genes fall into the hands of others, let others slaughter, the other party takes their genes to do some illegal and harmful things, and individuals cannot stop it.

    Therefore, it is recommended that people do not go for genetic testing, and if they want to know whether they have cancer, they can go directly to the hospital for relevant examinations, and there is no need to spend money on genetic testing.

    Biochemical testing, chromosomal analysis, and DNA analysis. 1.Biochemical testsBiochemical tests are chemical tests that test samples of blood, urine, amniotic fluid, or amniotic membranes to check for the presence of relevant proteins or substances to determine whether there is a genetic defect.

    It is used to diagnose a genetic defect caused by an imbalance of proteins that maintain the normal functioning of the body, usually by testing the protein content. It can also be used to diagnose phenylketonuria, etc. 2.

    Chromosome analysisChromosome analysis directly detects abnormalities in the number and structure of chromosomes, rather than checking for mutations or abnormalities in a gene on a chromosome. It is usually used to diagnose abnormalities in the fetus. A common chromosomal abnormality is an extra chromosome, and the cells used for the test are obtained from a blood sample or, in the case of a fetus, by amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling.

    It is stained to make the chromosomes stand out, and then a high-powered microscope is used to see if there are any abnormalities. Analytical DNA analysis is mainly used to identify genetic diseases caused by abnormalities in a single gene, such as Huntington's disease. The cells analyzed for DNA analysis are derived from blood or fetal cells.

    Molecular detection uses molecular probes to detect specific gene sites on the chromosomes of tumor cells, such as breaks, fusions, translocations, and other mutations.

    Its test results are only: yes or no, yes or no, and nothing else is provided.

    Molecular detection, larger hospitals, pathology departments can do it, more than 1,000 yuan, about a week.

    Genetic testing is to check all the genes on the chromosomes of tumor cells, which genes are normal, which genes have mutations, and what type of mutations.

    Hello dear, they are not the same size.

    Gene is a functional fragment of DNA molecule, the basic unit of genetic information, and the most basic factor that determines all biological species. Genes determine human life, aging, sickness and death, are the cause of health, beauty and longevity, and are the manipulators and regulators of life. Therefore, if there is life, there will be genes, and the form of existence and decay of all life is determined by genes, including your appearance, height, weight, skin color, personality, etc., which are inseparable from genes.

    Hello! The full name of genetic testing is "disease susceptibility genetic testing". It is to extract DNA substances from exfoliated cells in the human oral mucosa for specific testing, to determine whether they are susceptible to diseases from a genetic point of view, to predict the risk of future diseases, and to give early warning of the risk of common diseases to the examinee.

    Modern medical research has proved that almost all diseases, except for injuries, are related to genes. Just as blood is divided into different blood types, normal genes in the human body are also divided into different genotypes, i.e., genopolymorphisms. Different genotypes are sensitive to environmental factors, and sensitive genotypes can cause diseases under the influence of environmental factors.

    In addition, abnormal genes can directly cause diseases, and the diseases that occur in this case are hereditary.

    It can be said that there are three root causes of disease:

    1) Acquired mutations in genes;

    2) interactions between normal genes and the environment;

    3) Inherited genetic defects.

    The vast majority of diseases can be found in genes**.

    Genes, through their guidance on protein synthesis, determine how efficiently we absorb food, remove toxins from the body, and respond to infections.

    There are more than 4,000 genetically related diseases in the first category, which are genetically acquired by the father or mother.

    The second type of diseases are common diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, many types of cancer, etc., which are the result of the interaction of multiple genes and multiple environmental factors.

    Genes are chemical carriers of human genetic information that determine how similar and unsimilar we are to our predecessors. When genes are "working" properly, our bodies are able to develop and function normally. If a gene is not normal, or even a very small piece of the gene is abnormal, it can cause abnormal development, disease, and even death.

    A healthy body depends on the continuous renewal of the body to ensure the normal quantity and quality of proteins, and these proteins cooperate with each other to ensure the normal performance of various functions of the body. Each protein is a product of a corresponding gene.

    Genes can change, some of which do not cause changes in the quantity or quality of proteins, and some of which do. This change in a gene is called a mutation. Changes in the quantity or quality of proteins can cause abnormal body functions that can lead to disease.
