DNA testing in the UK can be used for a variety of purposes, including tracing ancestry, determining biological relationships, and providing crucial information for medical diagnostics and treatments.

It can help uncover genetic predispositions to certain diseases, assist in criminal investigations, and aid in identifying unknown remains. With advancements in technology, DNA testing has become more accessible and accurate, offering valuable insights for personal and legal matters.
