Genetic testing involves analyzing DNA to detect changes or variations that may indicate genetic disorders, ancestry, or other traits. The growing interest in genetic testing is fueled by increased awareness of its benefits for health and ancestry. In genealogy, genetic testing helps individuals gain insights into their ancestral origins, connect with relatives, and verify family history through DNA analysis. For example, in October 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US-based federal agency, reported that genetic tests have been developed for over 1,200 diseases, with more than 1,000 tests currently available for clinical use. Therefore, the increasing demand for genetic testing is driving the genealogy products and services market.

Key companies in the genealogy products and services market are developing advanced technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) tests, to provide more detailed and accurate insights into genetic ancestry and familial lineage.

This NGS test analyzes 146 genes and aligns with ESMO and AMP guidelines for genetic testing in the EU and USA. It also meets the UK’s National Genomics Test Directory standards for detecting rare and inherited disorders, including Lynch syndrome, rare hereditary cancers such as phaeochromocytoma, and pediatric cancers like Wilms tumor.
