Hello, everyone! Welcome back to the Demystifying Research channel! In today's video, we will jump into the world of genetic testing and explore how our genes play a huge role in shaping our future health. We’ll specifically look into who should have genetic testing performed, as well as the significance, utility, and future prospects of genetic testing. We hope you enjoy it! 😀
