A genetic test (DNA test) is a test used to assess the changes in the DNA or chromosome structure. This can be used in the medical field to rule out or discover possible genetic conditions of a patient.
The integration of next-generation sequencing (NGS) tests into clinical laboratory practice across medical disciplines provides medically actionable data that in some cases are not otherwise...
