Can all diseases be detected? What's the difference between genetic testing and routine testing in hospitals?

Genetic testing is a technique to detect DNA through blood, other body fluids or cells. By detecting the molecular information of DNA, we can analyze all kinds of genes it contains, so that people can know their own genetic information.

Genetic testing is to predict the possibility of a disease in advance by detecting related disease genes before the disease occurs. It is a predictive test, and its purpose is to prevent people who may get sick from getting sick as much as possible through effective prevention, including good living habits and targeted diet attention. The degree of correlation with the corresponding disease, considering the susceptibility to the disease, is to try to make the person who is going to get sick not get sick or delay the illness.

Benefits of genetic testing:

1, genetic testing can guide a healthy lifestyle.

2, predict the risk of illness, early intervention and treatment to predict the risk of illness.

3. Guide rational drug use to make the treatment more effective.

4. Guide personalized physical examination to avoid blind physical examination.

The traditional routine physical examination mainly aims at the diagnosis and examination of clinical lesions that have appeared in human body. Its main task is to cooperate with the treatment of diseases, and it is impossible to predict the lesions before they occur and draw more and deeper conclusions. In other words, in the prevention of diseases, the traditional physical examination is very passive and lagging behind.
