Diagnosing Current Disease
Diagnostic genetic testing can be performed at any time throughout your life. It can be performed on a variety of types of diseases, including infectious disease. Bacteria, viruses, and parasites have their own genetic code, and genetic testing can be used to uncover them. Genetic testing is also useful in determining how well a therapy is combating infections such as HIV and hepatitis C.

 

Some examples of genetically associated diseases that typically affect men are:
Alzheimer’s disease

 

Bone marrow disorders

 

Cardiovascular disease

 

Celiac disease

 

Colon cancer

 

Cystic fibrosis

 

Diabetes

 

Down syndrome

 

Leukemia
