🔬 What is Genetic Mutation Identification?

Genetic mutation identification refers to the process of detecting changes or alterations in the DNA sequence that may result in diseases or modify biological functions. These mutations can occur in different forms, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and large-scale chromosomal changes.

🧬 How Does Genetic Mutation Identification Work?

• 1️⃣ **Sample Collection** – A blood, saliva, or tissue sample is collected from the patient for DNA extraction.
• 2️⃣ **DNA Extraction** – DNA is extracted from the collected sample to be analyzed.
• 3️⃣ **Mutation Detection** – Advanced techniques like **PCR** (Polymerase Chain Reaction), **Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)**, and **Microarrays** are used to identify specific mutations in the genetic code.
• 4️⃣ **Analysis & Interpretation** – The detected mutations are analyzed to determine their significance and potential link to diseases.
• 5️⃣ **Result Reporting** – The results are reported, providing information on any detected genetic mutations and their potential impact on health.

🏥 Importance of Genetic Mutation Identification

Genetic mutation identification plays a critical role in understanding the genetic basis of diseases, providing essential information for personalized healthcare and treatment plans. By identifying mutations early, patients can benefit from more accurate diagnoses, more targeted treatments, and better health outcomes. It also contributes to advancing genetic research and improving our understanding of human genetics.
