Genetic testing (also called DNA-based tests) is among the newest and most sophisticated of techniques used to test for genetic disorders which involves direct examination of the DNA molecule itself. A genetic disorder is an illness caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome, especially a condition that is present from birth (congenital). Most genetic disorders are quite rare and affect one person in every several thousands or millions. Genetic tests are used for several reasons, including:


 * Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis
 * Prenatal diagnostic testing
 * Newborn screening
 * Genealogical DNA test (for genetic genealogy purposes)
 * Presymptomatic testing for predicting adult-onset disorders such as Huntington's disease
 * Presymptomatic testing for estimating the risk of developing adult-onset cancers and Alzheimer's disease
 * Confirmatory diagnosis of a symptomatic individual
 * Forensic/identity testing
