How do you take a genetic test?

Published in Genetic Testing Process 1 min read

Taking a genetic test typically involves providing a sample, most commonly blood or spit, and waiting for the results.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Sample Collection: Genetic tests use a blood or spit sample to analyze your DNA.
  • Waiting for Results: Results are usually ready in a few weeks.

Because we share DNA with our family members, if testing shows that you have a genetic change, your family members may have the same genetic change.
