Test Your Knowledge On Cell Free DNA (cfDNA)

This quiz explores the innovative domain of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and its evolving significance in medical diagnostics and research.

cfDNA stands for cell-free DNA. It refers to small fragments of DNA that circulate freely in the bloodstream. These fragments are released from cells throughout the body, including cancer cells, as they undergo cell death and decay. cfDNA can be used as a biomarker for various conditions, including cancer, prenatal testing, organ transplantation monitoring, and other medical diagnostics.

Serving as a crucial element in non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), cfDNA has transformed the approach to screening genetic abnormalities during pregnancy, providing safer alternatives to invasive methods. Beyond its role in prenatal care, cfDNA shows promise in cancer detection by indicating tumor progression or recurrence through its presence in the bloodstream.

Additionally, cfDNA analysis enables tailored treatments based on individual genetic profiles. Participants will discover cfDNA's diverse applications, from prenatal care to cancer diagnostics and personalized healthcare, while also exploring the latest advancements propelling this field forward.
