Diagnosis of genetic disorders• The DNA of people with and without a genetic
disorder is compared to find differences that are associated with the disorder. Once it is clearly understood where a gene is located and that a mutation in the gene causes the disorder, a diagnosis can be made for an individual, even before birth.
![Page 48: Genetic Technology Section 13.2 Summary – pages 341 - 348 Genetic Engineering 1. Genetic engineering is a faster and more reliable method for increasing](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ed45503460f94be4f9e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

• DNA fingerprinting can be used to convict or acquit individuals of criminal offenses because every person is genetically unique.
• 26. DNA fingerprinting works because no two individuals (except identical twins) have the same DNA sequences, and because all cells (except gametes) of an individual have the same DNA.

• To identify individuals, forensic scientists scan 13 DNA regions, or loci, that vary from person to person and use the data to create a DNA profile of that individual (sometimes called a DNA fingerprint). There is an extremely small chance that another person has the same DNA profile for a particular set of 13 regions. (Human genome project info)

• In a forensic application of DNA fingerprinting, a small DNA sample is obtained from a suspect and from blood, hair, skin, or semen found at the crime scene.
• The DNA, which includes the unique non-coding segments, is cut into fragments with restriction enzymes.

DNA fingerprinting
• The fragments are separated by gel electrophoresis, then further analyzed. If the samples match, the suspect most likely is guilty.
