What are the benefits of genetic testing? Genetic tests cannot alone cure a disease and do not always provide definitive results. But, when chosen carefully and wisely, they can provide you with answers—some of which may be “actionable”.Results from genetic tests may allow you to educate your family about potential health risks or enable you to make informed health decisions. Identifying a specific genetic cause for a disease could allow for more effective treatment, and understanding your predisposition could allow for early intervention and preventive measures.
