The Top Five Genetic Testing Companies in India 2023

PNN
New Delhi [India], October 30: With the rise in health awareness, demand for genetic testing is on the rise in India. As a result, recently there has been an emergence of a number of genetic test labs in India. Genetic testing makes us aware of our genetic makeup along with the risks of inheriting a particular disease. The process includes collecting a sample through blood, tissues, saliva, spit, hair, ammonic fluid, etc.
The cost of the testing varies and depends on the number of genes or variants being scanned. Also, based on individual requirements, the cost further varies. The most important part is the proper analysis of the genetic testing report. In India, we have a few genetic counselors that are trained to comprehend the report and provide recommendations based on that.
