Genotyping

Meaning

Genotyping is the precise scientific methodology used to determine the specific genetic constitution, or genotype, of an individual by analyzing their DNA sequence at targeted locations. This process is instrumental in identifying variations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or other markers, that influence physiological processes like nutrient metabolism, hormone synthesis, or receptor function. In the domain of hormonal health, genotyping provides objective, personalized data that informs tailored risk assessment and the selection of optimal therapeutic strategies. This powerful tool moves clinical practice toward a truly individualized approach.
