Opting for DNA testing marks a pivotal initial stride in taking charge of your healthcare journey. You will gain invaluable insights into your susceptibility to various diseases, some of which are solely genetic while others stem from a blend of genetic and environmental factors. Acquiring knowledge about your genetic predispositions empowers you to adopt proactive measures to counteract the onset of illnesses.

Hereditary Diseases

Consider, for example, a family grappling with a hereditary affliction known as Prion Disease or FFI (Fatal Familial Insomnia) for over three centuries. Through genetic testing, family members were afforded the opportunity to partake in a study aimed at combating this malady by identifying the responsible gene. In instances where diseases progress rapidly and culminate fatally, timely genetic testing can quite literally be a matter of life and death.

Are You Predisposed?

Moreover, genetic testing can unveil predispositions to conditions like diabetes type 1 or type 2, which have been linked to multiple genes alongside environmental factors. Equipped with this knowledge prior to receiving a formal diagnosis, individuals can tailor their lifestyles accordingly to mitigate risks.

Our services transcend mere DNA analysis, offering medical insights garnered from comprehensive raw data analysis. This encompasses the identification of genetic diseases within your DNA, enabling you to evaluate your likelihood of developing them. Furthermore, by assessing your sensitivity to specific medications, you can make more informed decisions regarding the most suitable treatment options for you. For instance, in my personal experience, discovering a sensitivity to blood thinners averted potentially life-threatening situations arising from adverse reactions. However, I did not undertake to have my test run until two near fatal bleeds requiring life-saving actions including being airflighted to a larger hospital. If only I had undergone the test before experiencing two life-threatening bleed events.
