What is a Genetics test?
Genomic testing helps identify single nucleotide polymorphysims (SNPs) in your Genome. SNPs are disease related genes that have been identified through Genome Wide Associated research studies, by comparing the genome of individuals with the disease against that of a healthy population.
As with any other lab report, once you've generated a variance report, the next logical step is to share your results with your Physician as they can combine this data with your other clinical information inorder to help you improve your quality of life.
Why would you need to run a Genetics test ?
- You have been diagnosed with a chronic health condition.
Your genetic information will help you determine which genes or biochemical pathways were altered to result in that health condition. Getting to the root cause, will help facilitate recovery by tailoring any treatment plans and lifestyle changes your Doctor recommends specifically to your body.
- Several members of your family live with one or several chronic health issues.
Genetic information will help your family uncover the inherited Gene sequence patterns that contribute to the chronic illnesses plaguing them.
- You plan to have a baby.
Research is implicating certain genetic mutations in a woman's ability to conceive and sustain a viable pregnancy. The good news is that there are treatments available to address this and hedge against the pain and suffering caused by recurrent miscarriages and stillborn babies.
- Preparing for the arrival of your new baby
With Genetic information, awareness of any potential pitfalls that your child could encounter will help parents make better health care and lifestyle choices for their children.
- You are adopted or you have an adopted child.
Genetic and ancestral information will help an adopted child carve out their family health history. This is often crucial to any care they receive.
- You have been prescribed a medication or supplement.
Certain genetic mutations can dictate whether a prescription/supplement is best suited to you. Sometimes even dosage is dependent on this information. This is a practice is commonly referred to as Pharmacogenomics. Put simply, genomic information will contribute to improving clinical practices in medicine today.
