[ "The DNA in an organism's genome can be analyzed to diagnose vulnerabilities to inherited diseases, and can also be used to determine a child's paternity (genetic father) or a person's ancestry.", "Normally, every person carries two variations of every gene, one inherited from their mother, the other inherited from their father.", "The human genome is believed to contain around 20,000 - 25,000 genes.", "In addition to studying chromosomes to the level of individual genes, genetic testing in a broader sense includes biochemical tests for the possible presence of genetic diseases, or mutant forms of genes associated with increased risk of developing genetic disorders.", "Genetic testing identifies changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins.", "Usually, testing is used to find changes that are associated with inherited disorders.", "The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person's chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder.", "Several hundred genetic tests are currently in use, and more are being developed." ]
