Predictive Genetic Testing

Meaning

Predictive Genetic Testing is a type of genetic analysis performed on asymptomatic individuals to determine their probability of developing a specific, often inherited, condition in the future. In the context of hormonal health, this testing can identify pathogenic variants in genes, such as BRCA1 or those related to endocrine neoplasia syndromes, that significantly increase the lifetime risk for hormone-sensitive cancers or metabolic disorders. This clinical tool provides proactive, personalized risk information, enabling the implementation of early surveillance and preventative strategies.
