16、rs fight for successCDid you know that a drop of your blood can predict (预测) diseases you may develop in the future? This is possible through genetic (基因的) testing. The most common type of genetic testing is called “newborn screening,” which is done to find treatable genetic disorders in newborn bab

17、ies. In many countries, babies are screened in the hospital shortly after they are born.
