The objective of direct-to-consumer DNA testing is to promote public awareness of diseases of genetic origin. By bringing this information to the general population, society becomes more aware of the importance of genetics in the development of some diseases.
A genetic test can be used to determine a person’s genetic predisposition to certain diseases. Knowing the genetic susceptibility, it is possible to influence the interaction with the environment, promoting a healthier lifestyle, bringing us closer to personalized medicine.
