where can I find best information regarding DNA based diagnostics?
815702
Here are good sites, with some general and specic information (follow the links for your favorite disease).  \n\nGenetests, NCBI and OMIM.  You will have to navigate the sites to mine for info.\n\nThese sites were provideded by a Yale professor who specialized in DNA diagnostics. \n\nI got an "A" in the class, and you will look very bright in your upcoming seminar by reviewing this material too.  These  are superb resources.\n\nPass on this great Karma.\n\nBest Wishes!

you need to speak to a genetics counselor usually located at a medical university hospital\nthen you would need a family history, then finally a sanple of tissue for the dna to be read of each but thats not needed once a genetics counsel takes place

High-throughput DNA Isolation Protocol \n\nCTAB Method \n\n1.      Add 80 ul 2-mercaptoethanol to 40 ml CTAB buffer (see recipe below) right before use (0.2%) and mix. \n\n2.      Preheat CTAB DNA isolation buffer to 65°C in a water bath. \n\n3.      Grind freeze-dried leaf tissue (~100mg) in a Mixer Mill for 3-5 min at 30 time/sec with one 3mm steel bead in a 1.1 ml  tube strip from Qiagen\n\n4.      Carefully pour beads out of tubes and add 300 ul CTAB buffer into each tube with a multi-channel pipette (if a plate is used, you can leave beads in until the end of work)\n\n5.      Cap the tube strips and label each strip, caps and rack, incubate the samples in 65 °C water bath for 60-80 min, use shipping tape to secure the rack and lid to prevent caps from openning up while inverting the rack to mix samples.\n\n6.      Mix samples every 15 min by inverting rack 5-10 times to make sure plant tissue mixes well with the buffer. Watch for sample leaking from caps. \n\n7.      Take samples out of water bath, briefly spin sample box in a centrifuge for 1 min at 1500 rpm (balance box weight before spinning), separate caps from tube and put the cap strips on clean paper and arrange them in order so that they can be reused. \n\n8.      Add 300 Chl/IAA (25:1) into each tube with a multi-channel pipette, cap tube with original cap strips, put a plastic board between tube cap and rack lid to make sure every strip cap gets the same pressure from the lid, cover the box with lid, secure the lid with shipping tape. Mix the samples by inverting the box slowly for 15 min (Chloroform can create pressure and cause leaks of chloroform, so the tubes have to be tightly capped).\n\n9.      Centrifuge at 5,700 rpm  for 10 min. \n\n10.  Transfer the aqueous phase using a wide-bore pipette tip (about 200ul) into a labeled clean plate (650 ul plate), add 150 ul of cold isopropanol (-20 °C), securely cover the plate with a plate cover (or cap strips) and mix gently by inverting the plate several times to precipitate DNA. \n\n11.  Recover the DNA by centrifuging at 5,700 rpm (6100g) for 10 min. Discard the supernatant immediately by suddenly inverting the plate and dry it briefly on several layers of paper towels by briefly touching the plate on paper towels two to three times on different positions of towel to remove excess liquid. This step should be very quick (a few seconds). Then turn the plate back upright and air-dry samples to remove excess liquid for ~10 min.\n\n12.  Add 500 ul of 70% Ethanol directly to the pellet, cover the plate, and invert it gently several times to wash  for 5 min. \n\n13.  Centrifuge at 5,700 rpm for 8 min, and quickly discard wash buffer as described previously (check DNA pellet in each well to make sure DNA stayed in the bottoms of wells\n\n14.  Air-dry DNA pellet at room temperature for ~20 mins to remove excess liquid.\n\n15.  Re-suspend the DNA pellet in 200 u1 of ddH2O and leave it at 4°C overnight \n\n16.  DNA concentration will be ~100ng /ul and can be determined using either an agarose gel or a spectrophotometer. \n\n \n\n                                                                            CTAB  DNA Isolation Buffer (500 ml) \n\n \n\n2% (w/v) CTAB (sigma)\n 10.0 g\n \n1.4M NaCI\n 40.91 g\n \n20 mM EDTA\n 20 m1 of 0.5 M EDTA \n \n100 mM Tris. HCI (pH 8.0)\n 50 ml of 1.0 M\n \nAdd ddH2O to make a final volume of 500 ml \n \n\n \n\nSDS Method \n\n1.      1-2 young leaves (~100mg) are placed in a labeled 1.1-ml collection tube or in a plate well, freeze-dried, and ground for 3-5 min at 30x/sec to a fine powder using a Mixer Mill and one 3-4mm steel bead in each well. (To isolate DNA from dry seeds, half to 3 seeds are wrapped with a weighing paper, crushed with pliers, placed in a col1ection tube or   in a deep-well plate ).\n\n2.      Preheat extraction buffer to 65°C in a water bath. (If the tissue samples are stored at -20°C, allow them to warm up to room temperature).\n\n3.      Add 0.2% (v/v) ß-mercap

Uses of DNA Fingerprints\n^^^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^\nDNA fingerprints are useful in several areas of society. They are used by professionals in human health and the justice system. \n\n-Diagnosis of inherited disorders \n\nDNA fingerprinting is used to diagnose inherited disorders in both prenatal and newborn babies in hospitals around the world. These disorders may include cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, Huntington's disease, familial Alzheimer's, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and many others. \n\nEarly detection of such disorders enables the medical staff to prepare themselves and the parents for proper treatment of the child. In some programs, genetic counselors use DNA fingerprint information to help prospective parents understand the risk of having an affected child. In other programs, prospective parents use DNA fingerprint information in their decisions concerning affected pregnancies. \n\n-Developing cures for inherited disorders \n\nResearch programs to locate inherited disorders on the chromosomes depend on the information contained in DNA fingerprints. By studying the DNA fingerprints of relatives who have a history of some particular disorder, or by comparing large groups of people with and without the disorder, it is possible to identify DNA patterns associated with the disease in question. This work is a necessary first step in designing an eventual genetic cure for these disorders. \n\n-Biological Evidence \n\nFBI and police labs around the U.S. have begun to use DNA fingerprints to link suspects to biological evidence -- blood or semen stains, hair, or items of clothing -- found at the scene of a crime. Since 1987, more than 150 cases have been decided with the assistance of DNA fingerprint evidence. \n\nAnother important use of DNA fingerprints in the court system is to establish paternity in custody and child support litigation. In these applications, DNA fingerprints bring an unprecedented, nearly perfect accuracy to the determination. \n\n-Personal identification \n\nBecause every organ or tissue of an individual contains the same DNA fingerprint, the U.S. armed services have just begun a program to collect DNA fingerprints from all personnel for use later, in case they are needed to identify casualties or persons missing in action. The DNA method will be far superior to the dogtags, dental records, and blood typing strategies currently in use.

Unfortunately, my friend, like with HCV, there is no standardized or commercial method available for HBV genotyping at the moment.\n\nthese websites may help : http://jcm.asm.org/cgi/content/full/41/12/5473\n\nhttp://www.biology-online.org/biology-forum/post-11699.html&highlight=\n\nhttp://www.aegis.com/news/pr/2001/PR011243.html\n\nyou can make your own mind up about which is most reliable.

You have to send in a sample.  You wouldn't have to travel personally to a lab.  I'm assuming you mean some sort of DNA fingerprinting profile.  We're a long way from mail-in complete genomes.

Good God man you are on the net, you have more information than you know what to do with right at your finger tips. Go to Yahoo's main page and type genetics into the search bar.
