Genetic testing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Gene tests (also called DNA-based tests), the newest and most sophisticated of the techniques used to test for genetic disorders, involve direct examination of the DNA molecule itself. Other genetic tests include biochemical tests for such gene products as enzymes and other proteins and for microscopic examination of stained or fluorescent chromosomes. Genetic tests are used for several reasons, including:
carrier screening, which involves identifying unaffected individuals who carry one copy of a gene for a disease that requires two copies for the disease to be expressed preimplantation genetic diagnosis (see the side bar, Screening Embryos for Disease) prenatal diagnostic testing newborn screening 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 confirmational diagnosis of a symptomatic individual forensic/identity testing
Genetic testing allows the genetic diagnosis of vulnerabilities to inherited diseases , and can also be used to determine a child's paternity (genetic father) or a person's ancestry . Normally, every person carries two copies of every

Tweet We all have some kind of relationship with our bodies. Sometimes, let's admit, it can be abusive. We put cupcakes, cocaine, cognac, cauliflower, and cigarette smoke in there (well, not always all at once), and we somehow expect our bodies to love it. One man, though, has perhaps stood above all others when it comes to testing the body's limits. That is Ozzy Osbourne, former lead singer of Black Sabbath, husband of Sharon, and one-time spokesman for World of Warcraft Osbourne has, at least in the past, thought nothing of a live bat as hors d'oeuvre , a live dove as main course, and a quart of Grey Goose as dessert. We don't even need to delve into his between-meal snacks. What is scientifically fascinating about a man of such eclectic excess is that, well, he's still alive. So now a genome sequencing company called Knome has decided to find out just what Ozzy Osbourne is really made of. It intends to test his DNA to see what kind of strange genetic makeup it contains that might explain Osbourne's very survival.

Genetic Testing Home Test Kits and Information
Home genetic testing, also known as DNA testing, permits diagnosis of genetic vulnerabilities to inherited diseases. Genetic testing can also determine a person's ancestry, including paternity testing (the baby daddy).
Everyone carries two copies of every gene, one inherited from their father and one from their mother. The human genome appears to contain approximately 20,000 to 25,000 genes.
Genetic testing (home test kits and in doctor's offices) includes tests for the presence of genetic diseases associated with mutant forms of genes. These can be associated with increased risk of developing genetic disorders. Genetic testing detects changes in genes, chromosomes or proteins.
Other genetic tests establish paternity, determining the father of a child. Crime labs use genetic testing to determine the identity of criminals for rape, murder and other crimes.

http://www.geneticdnatestinghelp.org/paternity/dna-genealogy-test.html
HOW A DNA GENEALOGY TEST WORKS
A DNA genealogy test is based on the fact that each of our cells contains DNA which is passed down to us from our parents and which they, in turn, inherited from their parents down through the generations. Although each of us have a unique DNA there are sections on the DNA strands which remain relatively unchanged through the generations and it is these segments which help genetic genealogists to determine our ancestry. These tests are a relatively new discovery but are fast gaining popularity as people want to find out where they are from. A DNA genealogy test can be ordered either online or through a local laboratory. Once you receive your DNA genealogy test you will then need to collect a sample of your DNA, this is usually done through taking a swab of the inner cheek. This sample is then sent away to the laboratory who will test it. By analyzing specific segments on the mitochondrial DNA or Y-chromosome the laboratory is able to determine where your ancestors were from, due to the fact that certain patterns in the DNA are specific to certain populations. Depending on how far back the pattern goes the laboratory will be able to give you the continent you were from (if it goes back to ancient times) or get more specific if the pattern is relatively recent. You will get the results of your DNA genealogy test either as a letter which specifies a specific area or as a percentage list of how much of each population group you have in your genealogy.

9. Kimball Genetics - Hemochromatosis DNA Test
Although only a small percent of individuals (up to 6%) with this mutation develop hemochromatosis, DNA testing for hemochromatosis provides for effective early diagnosis and
http://www.kimballgenetics.com/tests-hemochrom.html
Hemochromatosis DNA Test
Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HH) is the most common genetic disorder known, with a prevalence of 1/200 and a carrier frequency of 1/8 in Caucasians. This disorder involves excess iron absorption and storage in organs and leads to high morbidity and mortality if untreated. Historically, most cases have remained undiagnosed until late in the course of the disease when irreversible damage has already occurred. Early diagnosis allows for prevention of symptoms through treatment by phlebotomy.
Two mutations associated with hemochromatosis have been discovered in the HFE gene. The major mutation, Cys282Tyr (also known as 845A) is present in the homozygous state in 85% of Caucasians with clinically diagnosed hemochromatosis. Most homozygotes (with two copies of the mutation) and some heterozygotes (with one copy of the mutation) develop iron overload and hemochromatosis. A second mutation, His63Asp (also known as 187G), appears to somewhat increase risk of iron overload. Although only a small percent of individuals (up to 6%) with this mutation develop hemochromatosis, DNA testing for hemochromatosis provides for effective early diagnosis and prevention.
Indications for Hemochromatosis
DNA Testing:
Clinical diagnosis of hemochromatosis Unexplained elevated serum concentrations of liver enzymes Cirrhosis, liver failure, or hepatocellular carcinoma

If probes encounter a complementary sequence of nucleotides in a test sample of DNA, they bind to it by Watson-Crick base pairing and thus identify it. Polymorphisms are inherited differences found among the individuals in a population. RFLPs have provided valuable information in many areas of biology, including:
screening human DNA for the presence of potentially deleterious genes ("Case 1");

Gene Testing
The story of gene testing begins with DNA. DNA is a vast chemical information database. It resides in the core, or nucleus, of each of the body's trillions of cells, and it carries the complete set of instructions for making all the proteins a cell will ever need. Â DNA exists as two long, paired strands spiraled into the famous double helix. Each strand is made up of millions of chemical building blocks called bases. There are only four different chemical bases in DNA (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine), but they can be arranged and rearranged in countless ways. The order in which the bases occur determines the messages to be conveyed, much as specific letters of the alphabet combine to form words and sentences. Every human cell (with the exception of mature red blood cells, which have no nuclei) contains the same DNA. Each cell has 46 molecules of double-stranded DNA. Each DNA molecule is made up of 50 to 250 million bases housed in a chromosome. gene is a working subunit of a DNA molecule.

This site is designed to highlight tests for specific genes, traits, or genetic diseases. Several veterniary labs offer tests to detect bacteria or viruses in cattle samples also, but again these are not covered by this website.
Coat Color Tests
MC1R or Red versus Black This DNA test is available to distinguish black cattle which carry red from those that are homozygous black. Most labs offer a test which distinguishes the black E D allele from the red e allele. A few labs also offer an additional test which detects the third wild type allele E . These 3 same mutations occur in Angus, Holstein, Hereford, Limousin, etc. This test could also be used to predict which White Galloway with black points could have calves with red points. In other words, it predicts red versus black on all or part of the body as appropriate for that breed. The allele E is required for MC1R to be responsive to agouti and therefore this allele is always present in brindle cattle and also in shaded coat colors such as Brown Swiss. Hence if a breeder wishes to eliminate the possibility of brindle animals carrying the allele E

Ancestral Testing
Genetic testing can help identify the ancestral origin / ethnic origins of a person, based upon tribal and geographic genetic distributions.
It can aid genealogists in determining family tree ancestors.
One type of autosomal STR genetic markers has been developed by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for identification of individuals.
Each person’s DNA profile serves as a genetic fingerprint for that individual, with a theoretical accuracy of less than one in a trillion of sharing an identical genetic profile with anyone else in the world. Since these autosomal STR profiles are so unique, these genetic testing markers are the industry standard for legal, court-admissible paternity (baby daddy) and maternity testing.
DNA analysis can be accomplished through two types of DNA testing, SNP and autosomal testing.

It consists of an arrayed series of thousands of microscopic spots of DNA oligonucleotides , called features, each containing pico moles moles) of a specific DNA sequence, known as probes (or reporters ). These can be a short section of a gene or other DNA element that are used to hybridize a cDNA or cRNA sample (called target ) under high-stringency conditions. Probe-target hybridization is usually detected and quantified by detection of fluorophore -, silver-, or chemiluminescence-labeled targets to determine relative abundance of nucleic acid sequences in the target. Since an array can contain tens of thousands of probes, a microarray experiment can accomplish many genetic tests in parallel. Therefore arrays have dramatically accelerated many types of investigation.
