To Know
Genomic analysis is intended primarily for people who are aware of the close correlation of health to quality of life. Unfortunately, most often the cause of a particular disease is not only the result of an unhealthy lifestyle. In many diseases, genetic influences play a major role. GenePlanet will therefore calculate your predisposition to numerous diseases based on your genetic code, and compare it to the rest of the population.
A person's response to medications depends, to a great degree, on their genetic code. With certain medications, clear links have been established between their effects and an individual's genes. Based on your genetic makeup, we shall evaluate the expected response to these medications and their side effects.
There is even more to the genomic analysis. Genes also encode your potential physical and mental abilities. If you have not had the chance to discover some of them, our information can help you direct your energy to areas where you can excel. If you are interested to know your ancestors' origins or the proportion of races comprising your body, GenePlanet can do this for you as well. All this information is written in your genes.
To understand
It is important to understand that GenePlanet does not perform genetic diagnostics of diseases.
GenePlanet's duty is to evaluate your:
- Predisposition to or chance of contracting a certain disease,
- Response to certain medications,
- Probability of possessing a specific trait or ability.
A list of diseases, talents and medications, analysed by the GenePlanet, will undergo constant updating to reflect new scientific findings.
To act accordingly
Being aware of one's genetic predisposition to certain diseases enables one to make adequate and timely changes in one's lifestyle and to institute preventive actions. However, our health does not depend solely on our genes, but also on the environment and behavioural patterns. GenePlanet`s scientist shall thus indicate preventive measures and recommendations for each disease, whenever possible. We suggest you to follow them especially in areas where our analysis shows that your have an increased genetic predisposition. Some diseases will include very general recommendation, while others will include specific advice, of course always in accordance with the principles of modern medicine.
