Genetic Testing
Genetic Testing in Turkey
Genetic testing is an advanced medical diagnostic process used to analyze DNA, chromosomes, and genes to identify inherited conditions, disease risks, and genetic mutations that may affect current or future health.
RexaLife connects international patients from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, and worldwide with accredited genetic laboratories and specialist medical geneticists in Turkey.
What is Genetic Testing?
Genetic testing examines changes in DNA that may indicate the presence of inherited disorders, cancer risks, or metabolic and developmental conditions. It is widely used in preventive medicine, reproductive planning, and disease diagnosis.
- DNA and chromosome analysis
- Detection of inherited genetic disorders
- Carrier status identification
- Cancer risk assessment
- Personalized treatment planning
Why Genetic Testing is Important
Genetic testing helps detect potential health risks before symptoms appear, allowing early prevention and personalized medical care.
- Early diagnosis of genetic diseases
- Family planning and reproductive guidance
- Understanding hereditary cancer risk
- Personalized medicine and treatment optimization
Main Types of Genetic Tests
1. Chromosomal Analysis (Karyotype)
Used to detect abnormalities in chromosome number or structure. Commonly used in infertility, pregnancy loss, and developmental disorders.
2. Molecular Genetic Testing
Analyzes specific genes for mutations associated with diseases such as cystic fibrosis, thalassemia, and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
3. Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)
A comprehensive test that analyzes all protein-coding regions of genes (~20,000 genes). It is used for unexplained or complex genetic conditions.
4. Prenatal Genetic Testing
Includes tests such as NIPT, amniocentesis, and CVS for early detection of fetal genetic conditions.
5. Cancer Genetic Testing
Identifies inherited mutations linked to increased cancer risk, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.
Who Should Get Genetic Testing?
- Individuals with family history of genetic diseases
- Couples planning pregnancy or IVF
- Patients with unexplained medical conditions
- Recurrent miscarriage cases
- Individuals with suspected hereditary cancer risk
