How much does genetic testing cost

summary

The child came back and said that many students in the class and their parents took them to do genetic testing, which is a further understanding of the child's body. He told me that he especially wanted me to take him, so I consulted a lot of people about the price. Next, I'll tell you how much does genetic testing cost?

How much does genetic testing cost

First, gene detection is the technology of DNA detection through blood, other body fluids or cells. Genetic testing can be used to predict the risk of disease, but also can diagnose disease. Disease diagnosis is to use gene detection technology to detect the mutation genes that cause genetic diseases. Different testing items have different prices.

Second: in the genetic testing center, the difficulty and time of testing vary with different testing items and focuses, so the price is different. However, with the development of science and technology, DNA detection technology has become more and more mature, and the price has become cheaper and cheaper, which is acceptable to ordinary people. For example, the cost of DNA testing for parent-child relationship has increased from tens of thousands of yuan a few years ago to about 2000 yuan now.

Third: generally, the price of each individual identification is about 2000 yuan. The cost of forensic expertise is a little higher, about 3000 yuan. The price of type 2 diabetes susceptibility gene testing ranged from 1400 yuan to 1700 yuan. The price difference was mainly due to the number of gene loci detected, including 78 susceptibility gene loci detected at 1400 yuan and 105 susceptibility gene loci detected at 1700 yuan. Moreover, the follow-up service is also very perfect, including detection report, diabetes genetic risk assessment, diabetes complications genetic risk assessment and diabetes medication guidance.

matters needing attention

We all know that the current medical level is constantly improving, there are more and more equipment can better serve people. But there may be some differences in the price of gene testing in different regions, but if you want to do this gene testing, you can compare it with several hospitals.
