In [[medicine]], a [[disease]] is '''asymptomatic''' while the patient does not experience any noticeable [[symptom]]s. Asymptomatic diseases may not be discovered until the patient undergoes medical tests ([[X-ray]]s or other investigations). Some diseases remain asymptomatic for a remarkably long time, including some forms of [[cancer]]. If a patient is asymptomatic, precautionary steps must be taken.

A patient's individual genetic makeup may delay or prevent the onset of symptoms.
