title: [Genetic testing].
abstract: Mechanisms of human diseases have been elucidated along with the progress of the Human Genome Project, which has enabled accurate genetic testing towards personalized medicine. Besides the examination of an individual gene, RNA profiling, epigenetic test and molecular karyotyping have been applied to analyze clinical specimens. Current status of genetic testing technologies are briefly summarized, together with future perspectives.
