Which genetic test would be best for the prospective father who recently had a positive screen for a genetic condition?
1. Carrier testing
2. Predictive testing
3. Diagnostic testing
4. Prenatal testing
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Diagnostic testing is best for an individual who has a positive screen for a genetic disorder. Prenatal testing would be done with a pregnancy. Carrier testing is done with an asymptomatic individual who wishes to know whether he or she is a carrier of a condition. Predictive testing predicts the likelihood of a condition later in life.
