Answer:

Yes I think it is beneficial to know whether you carry a mutated gene or not because that affects future offspring and generations. Realizing this can help stop further reoccurence. Overall there are very few negative effects, very rarely does a person get a genetic disorder because of some mutations, in order for that to happen you have to change the protein of the gene but in most cases that is not what happens.

Therefore, the hair root is the best source of nuclear DNA than shed or cut hair when working with hair sample.</span>
