What is DNA banking?

0

DNA banking is the storage of genetic material for future use. Banking should be considered if a family member who has cancer does not want to be tested or if a genetic test for their situation is not yet possible. Banking DNA insures that the option of genetic testing is available to the next generation in a family.

DNA banking is a term that is used to refer to the processing and storage of DNA so that it may be used at a later time (months or years later). The sample is processed so that the DNA can be isolated. Processed in this way, there is a reliable source of DNA to allow future testing or related research to be performed. Who owns the DNA Bank? The DNA Bank will be owned by the Collie Health Foundation, but operated and managed by a DNA Laboratory” Cheek swabs will be sent, free of charge, to a selected number of collie breeders to start this program. Instructions for use and a form to provide information on each dog will accompany the supply of swabs. Once prepared, the swabs and all pertinent information (pedigree and all relevant clinical data and the info for the database) will be sent directly to a selected DNA Storage Lab, and will be identified only by a code number to assure Complete Confidentiality.

DNA Banking is a means of conclusively identifying you or your child. While photos, fingerprints and footprints can change, your DNA profile remains unchanged. The process of DNA Banking is similar to making a deposit in a savings account or safety deposit box — the DNA samples are collected and then are “banked” and retained for safekeeping until such time as the “depositor” or tested party or other authorized person desires access to the samples. You can now have peace of mind knowing that you, your child, family member, employee or associate can be positively identified regardless of circumstances. Storage and preservation of a patient’s DNA is available for up to twenty-five (25) years. We offer both “peace of mind” and “chain of custody” DNA Banking. Anyone who anticipates their DNA may be needed for legal issues should have their DNA collected following a legal “chain of custody”. Otherwise, it would not be court admissible. Who should have their DNA Banked or Stored?
