What is DNA testing?

Do you know that you can pass down genetic disorders to your children unknowingly? Some of us are the carriers of the defective genes, who do not experience any of the symptoms because carriers usually do not show the signs or symptoms of the disorders.   However, our children may not be as lucky as we are. As a matter of fact, a carrier couple has a 25% chance to have a child with the genetic disorders and a 50% chance to have a child who carries the defective genes.

For example, when a person lacks alpha haemoglobin genes, he/she could have alpha thalassemia major, a condition that requires regular blood transfusions to survive. On average, the cost of blood transfusion for alpha thalassemia patients can go up to RM100,000 ringgit per year!

All of the issues can be prevented by taking a simple DNA test. Visit https://www.lumirous.com/how-dna-tests-help-us-to-make-informed-decisions to read more on how you can make informed decisions from DNA testing.

Tahukah anda bahawa anda boleh mewariskan penyakit genetik kepada anak anda meskipun anda sihat? Sebahagian dari kita adalah pembawa genetik dan hidup normal kerana pembawa genetik tidak menunjukkan simptom terhadap penyakit berkenaan.   Walau bagaimanapun, anak anda mungkin mempunyai peluang lebih tinggi untuk berpenyakit genetik, terutamanya anak kepada pasangan pembawa genetik yang berpeluang sehingga 25% dan 50% peluang untuk mendapat anak yang membawa penyakit genetik.

Sebagai contoh, apabila seseorang kekurangan gen alpha hemoglobin, ia boleh menyebabkan alpha thalassemia major, sebuah kondisi kesihatan yang memerlukan transfusi darah yang kerap. Secara amnya, rawatan transfusi bagi pesakit alpha thalassemia boleh menelan kos rawatan sebanyak RM 100,00 setahun!

Segala kesulitan yang berlaku kerana penyakit genetik ini boleh dielakkan dengan menjalani ujian DNA. Layari https://www.lumirous.com/how-dna-tests-help-us-to-make-informed-decisions untuk mengetahui bagaimana anda boleh melakukan keputusan termaklum berdasarkan ujian DNA.
