Genetic Analysis Test is a lot like weather forecasting. It doesn’t predict exactly what will happen, but gives you the chances of something happening. This means that it will tell you more about your risk for a certain disease, like diabetes, not if you have diabetes or not. We can take that information and adjust our lifestyle choices to better our health.

The human genome is the sum total of all the genetic information contained in a human being and these genes are passed down from parents to offspring. The information in the genome is stored as DNA, which is a very long molecule and it can be broken up into sections called chromosomes. We can perform genetic risk assessment from saliva. This assessment can check for insertion, deletion, or substitution of bases in DNA sequence. Through changes in DNA sequence, we can check for different gene expression. Other than analyzing numerous chromosomes or DNA sequence, we can also analyze proteins, which may be involved in pathogenesis of various diseases.

By analyzing one’s DNA, it can reveal information about one’s genes and allow time for patients to control their lifestyle patterns and environmental factors to reduce the risk of disease pathogenesis.

Genetic Analysis Test may not be right for everyone, so it is important to ask yourself whether you think it is right for you. Some may not want to know about their genetic risks whereas other people want to know everything about theirs.
