Predictive testing is used to see if genes are present that could lead to hereditary diseases or other harmful genetic conditions. Carrier testing is used to determine if individuals carry harmful genes that could be passed on to offspring. Tracing lineage is used to determine parentage or other relationships within families. Prenatal testing is done to see if harmful genes are present in the fetus.
