The two types of genetic screening mentioned are?

• A. Neonatal Screening and Presymptomatic Screening
• B. Adult Screening and Foetal Screening
• C. Prenatal Screening and Newborn Screening
• D. Germline Screening and Somatic Screening

Answer: (B)

Genetic screening is often considered by when it is done in a person’s life. Foetal screening is performed during pregnancy to check the fetus for inherited conditions, helping families plan and manage outcomes. Adult screening is done in adults to identify genetic risks or predispositions that can guide prevention or early intervention. These two categories reflect the two broad points typically discussed: one before birth and one in adulthood. Other options mix different time points like neonatal or prenatal or refer to the type of mutation (germline versus somatic), which describe different ideas than the life-stage categories highlighted here.
