DNA Testing: All about Getting AABB Accreditation

What is and why is AABB accreditation necessary for DNA testing labs? Did you know that your body holds over 20,000 genes? Each of them carries specifications and instructions for essential protein production. While your genes are the blueprints for your body’s structure, they can offer a lot more information. They are capable of suggesting whether you are at risk of developing the same health diseases as your family.

In reality, this is possible via DNA testing/genetic testing that analyses various forms of DNA samples. These tests can detect any chromosomal or DNA structural and sequential changes. Consequently, results will suggest any genetic mutations that are occurring within you. They can also suggest if you are starting to develop a genetic disorder or disease. Let’s take a look at various forms via which DNA test occurs.

Types of DNA Tests

  • Chorionic Villus: it is a prenatal DNA test that your doctor might undertake by extracting tissue samples from your placenta. Depending on the situation, a catheter (tube) might come in use to extract tissue from different body parts. The uterus (thin walls) or your cervix (via the abdominal wall) are two common places to extract tissue.
  • Cheek Swab: a sample from the inside of your cheeks can also allow doctors to perform the genetic tests.
  • Blood Samples: by inserting a needle in your arm vein, your doctor will take a blood sample. This is the most common type of DNA test for many people. Furthermore, in the case of a baby, doctors take blood samples from the heel.
  • Amniocentesis: your doctor collects amniotic fluid for the DNA test. It happens through the use of a thin needle inserted into your abdominal wall towards the uterus.

Uses of DNA Testing

Paternity Testing

Paternity testing is often a legal requirement in case of a divorce, separation, or inheritance-related dispute. This process involves testing the DNA of a child to determine their parent.

Investigations

Criminal investigations have been making use of DNA samples and testing for a long time. Yes, besides the movies, this happens in real life! DNA samples help identify victims, suspects, and crime scenes, even enabling the reopening and solution of old/ unsolved cases.

Disease Identification and Prevention

This is the case for adults, children, old people, and sometimes, unborn fetuses. Primarily, DNA testing identifies the development of genetic diseases or severe health conditions at early stages. For example, they look for cancer cells because your family has a history of cancer.

Archaeology and Ancestral Inquiries

Archeologists collect DNA samples from long-deceased humans or other living organisms to perform DNA/genetic tests. Various reasons include determining migration patterns (of ancient people), records of life, and the discovery of essential historical figures.

Furthermore, DNA testing can help discover your link to your heritage lines and ancestors.

What is AABB?

American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) came into existence in the year 1947. It is an international and non-profit organization that collectively presents institutions and individuals involved in fields such as biotherapies and transfusion medicine. In spite of that, AABB develops and delivers accreditations, standards, as well as, educational programs.

Primarily, AABB focuses on the safety and optimal care of donors and patients in the US. AABB accredited institutions exist in over 50 countries, while specialist AABB members are in more than 80 countries to the present day. On the other hand, multiple members make up the association of AABB in the US. They include nurses, scientists, researchers, medical technologists, administrators, and physicians, along with several healthcare providers.
