The whole plan of our organism is written in our genes. The genes determine the structure and the functioning of our body. If we inherit a significant error in the genetic code, we will develop a genetic disorder. Discovering such genetic flaws is what doctors do today. Our tendencies for developing many diseases are also encoded in our genes. Environmental factors pay an important role with the development of such diseases. That is why, in most cases, we can influence how these diseases progress. The search for important genetic factors and assessing risks for developing a certain disease is what GenePlanet does. With our information you can change your lifestyle and prevent a disease you are most prone to, from developing. But when that is not possible it can be discovered during preventive check-ups in time for the treatment to still be effective.
