TRUSTED RESULTS

Our rigorous standards ensure quality service.

  • All saliva samples are processed in the labs that meet local regulations
  • Genotyping is a well-established and reliable platform for identifying the difference in DNA sequence among individuals or populations
  • Our scientists and medical experts use a rigorous process to develop the reports
  • Your personalized reports are based on well-established scientific research

HOW YOUR DNA BECOMES A REPORT

  • Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people.
  • Genetic testing is a type of medical test that identifies changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins. The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person’s chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder.
  • In human beings, 99.9% bases are same, remaining 0.1% makes a person unique in terms of:
  • Different attributes / characteristics / traits
  • How a person looks and what disease risks he or she may have
  • Harmless (no change in our normal health) Harmful (can develop into diseases like diabetes, cancer, heart disease, Huntington’s disease, and hemophilia)
  • Latent (These variations found in genes but are not harmful on their own. The change in each gene function only becomes apparent under certain conditions e.g. increase in stress and susceptibility to heart attack)
  • This comprehensive genetic report consolidates up-to-date research on most of the common SNPs that research suggests may have actionable nutritional and lifestyle interventions based on scientific evidence. We use hundreds of studies to bring you the genetic information in the Genetic report. The reporting format is very consistent and very lucid to understand.

We discover your various aspects of Health parameters that includes as follows:

Nutrition profile:

  • Know yourself better – gain insights into physiological and lifestyle traits & patterns that define you
  • Helps you in personalizing diet and fitness
  • Identify potential risk for lifestyle/chronic disease and consider early intervention
  • Personalized action plan for better health based on your DNA and family health history

Cardio Met (CVD)/Metabolic Disorders) Profile: is a DNA based test which provides individuals their genetic predisposition to heart diseases and other associated conditions caused due to Obesity

  • Understand the risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes before the onset of symptoms.
  • Know predisposition to traits which are associated with heart diseases.
  • Understand medication response and personalize the medication related to heart and diabetes.
  • Personalize care for your heart health.

Skin Report:

  • Finest solution to understand your skin better in terms of your risk of oxidative stress, inflammatory response, skin texture, etc.
  • You deserve to have a skincare regimen tailored to your skin needs.
  • With the results we provide, you can make the right decisions while choosing your products.
  • It also gives you personalised ingredients & nutritional requirement recommendations to determine the best-suited plan for your skin.
  • Everybody’s skin requirements are different and a personalised approach can help you achieve that.

Men’s Health:

  • For many men, health is not the high priority in their lives.
  • The ailments that cause the most deaths and illnesses in men are either preventable or treatable. But men are usually less willing than women to visit doctors for check-ups or preventative care, to seek treatment during the early stages of an ailment or to seek mental health advice.
  • Men are also more likely to engage in risky behaviour like drinking alcohol in excess, smoking tobacco and driving dangerously.

Women’s Health:

  • Women have unique health issues. And some of the health issues that affect both men and women can affect women differently.
  • Unique issues include pregnancy, menopause, and conditions of the female organs. Women can have a healthy pregnancy by getting early and regular prenatal care.
  • They should also get recommended breast cancer, cervical cancer, and bone density screenings

Immunogenic Profile:

  • Your immune-genomic profile determines your genetic association with the risk of developing defects in immune competence.
  • Immune system polymorphisms have been associated with increased risk of developing a variety of diseases including the infectious diseases like Bacterial infection, viral infection, fungal infection, parasitic infection, various other diseases

Kidney Health:

  • Kidneys are fist-sized organs located at the bottom of the rib cage, on both sides of the spine. They perform several functions. Most importantly, they filter waste products, excess water, and other impurities from the blood.
  • In addition, kidneys regulate pH, salt, and potassium levels in the body. They also produce hormones that regulate blood pressure and control the production of red blood cells. Thus, maintaining kidney health is important to overall health and general well-being.
  • Genetics & Kidney Health Diabetes and high blood pressure are the most common causes of kidney disease. Kidney diseases can be hereditary.

Auto-Immune Health:

The causative factors for most autoimmune diseases are a genetic predisposition and environmental triggers that alter the immune system’s ability to ignore a person’s own tissues and cells.

  • Rarely, an autoimmune disease is monogenic, caused by mutations in a single gene.
  • Most often, autoimmunity is polygenic, with genetic risk determined by the interaction of numerous genes and multifactorial (environmental factors in addition to genes).
  • There are some autoimmune diseases (ankylosing spondylitis, Behçet’s disease) for which allelic variants have been found to be associated with an increased risk of the disease. Although these alleles are not the cause of these pathologies, their prevalence is higher in affected patients.

Eye Health:

  • Genetics plays a role in vision problems that occur in otherwise healthy eyes. Genes act by producing specific proteins that may contribute to a particular biological or behavioral trait.
  • Every human carries between 80,000 and 100,000 genes; the products of these genes—acting together and in combination with the environment—enable vision complications. Genetic ophthalmologic researchers now have evidence that the most common vision problems among children and adults are genetically determined

Sleep Test:

  • One-third of population deal with sleep disorders which might be due to social, economic or medical problems. Genetic predisposing factors are among the ones which necessitates further research to elucidate their role in sleep disorders.
  • The heritability of sleep patterns has been shown in studies of monozygotic twins, and sleep electroencephalogram patterns offer a unique genetic fingerprint which may assist in the identification of genes involved in the regulation of sleep.
  • Most sleep disorders result from complex interactions between genes and the environment.
  • Disorders such as enuresis, restless leg syndrome (RLS), sleep apnea syndrome, parasomnias, periodic limb movement syndrome (PLMS) are among sleep disorders which are associated with genetic factors.
