Lesson details
Lesson outcome
I can explain how genetic testing can be used to test for alleles associated with disease, and how this information can be used.
Show transcript
Some alleles affect health (e.g. increase the risk of non-communicable diseases or adverse reactions to treatments).
Genetic testing and genome sequencing can identify the presence of these alleles in a person’s genome.
Healthcare can be personalised and lifestyle changes can be implemented to decrease risk and improve health.
Genetic test data could be misused, and its use must be regulated.
