COMPREHENSIVE GENETIC TESTS

Preventive genetic tests to optimise health

Comprehensive genetic analyses identify possible hereditary predispositions for a set of most common diseases. Based on the results, the level of risk for cardiovascular, cancer, metabolic, autoimmune and other diseases can be determined and appropriate preventive measures can be set in consultation with a doctor.

Predictive genetics aims to detect gene variants associated with the risk of a specific disease before it first manifests, allowing a comprehensive view of the area and effective targeting of prevention. Predictive genetics is the ideal tool to optimize your health and lifestyle. 

If there are certain diseases in your family, genetic analysis can help you discover their cause and set up appropriate preventive measures. If you are suffering from an unspecified health problem, the results of the genetic analysis may recommend appropriate treatment. If you want to make the most of your health, predictive genetics will give you a head start and keep you healthy into old age.

GenScan®

GenScan® analysis is a modern tool for personalized prevention. It can detect the health risks hidden in your DNA, allowing you to take the necessary precautions to avoid the development of a disease or to start appropriate treatment before it occurs. With GenScan® analysis, you can get a head start on your health care, improve your quality of life and maintain your health into old age.

PharmaGen®

The PharmaGen® test detects variants in genes that affect the metabolism of commonly used drugs, particularly in the fields of psychiatry, neurology and internal medicine (blood thinners - warfarin, cholesterol-lowering drugs, painkillers - ibuprofen, antidepressants, erectile dysfunction drugs, etc.).

Our genetic predisposition influences the rate of drug breakdown, its concentration in the blood, the effectiveness of treatment and the risk of side effects. Simply put, genetic analysis can help you find out what medication is right for you and at what dose, and which drugs to avoid, which can significantly speed up the appropriate treatment and increase its effectiveness.

Gut microbiome

The gut microbiome influences virtually the entire body, from nutrient digestion and energy absorption to immune system activity, liver function and risk of various diseases, and even the psyche. By genetically analysing a small stool sample in the laboratory, the types and amounts of bacteria that live in your colon can be determined. Together with an analysis of dietary habits, it is then possible to deduce what substances in the intestines are produced by the activity of the bacteria and how this affects the body. In addition, if we know what these bacteria need to multiply or what is not good for them, we can adjust the amount of bacteria in our gut through our diet. In this way, we can influence their impact on our body - and on our physical and mental health.

You will receive the result in 6-8 weeks

GenScan® Individual + gut microbiome + biochemical blood test (nutritional status)

Genetic testing reveals innate predispositions to disease and identifies how your body will respond to risk factors for these diseases, or what your body responds to to keep you healthy. Gut microbiome testing will show you if your gut bacteria are in balance and working with your body to maintain good immunity. In addition, the combination of these tests will tell you whether you are eliminating the risk factors hidden in your genes correctly. A biochemical blood test will reveal whether you are already developing certain risk factors and whether you are lacking certain essential nutrients.

The examination includes an assessment of your eating habits and a consultation with a specialist who will make precise recommendations to ensure that the prevention is effective. Simply put, he or she can assess whether your lifestyle and diet are in line with your DNA.

HOW DOES THE WHOLE PROCESS WORK?

HOW DOES THE WHOLE PROCESS WORK?

After ordering the test, you will receive an email with detailed information. A DNA sample is most often obtained through an oral swab or blood sample. You can perform the oral swab yourself in the comfort of your own home using a collection kit which will be sent to you by mail together with instructions and other documents. You can have your blood drawn at your local physician's office or at our outpatient clinic. The result of the analysis will be sent to you by e-mail or by post as agreed. In the case of a positive result, we recommend an appointment for a genetic consultation. 

Frequently Asked Questions

The time required for the laboratory examination (sample analysis) and the delivery date of the result vary according to the type and complexity of the examination. Usually it is in the order of weeks, for complex tests up to several months. The delivery date of the result is indicated in the details of each test on our website. In urgent situations, e.g. for a woman with a newly diagnosed breast or ovarian tumour before surgery, the oncopanel cancer test is performed in STATIM mode and the result is available within 3-4 weeks, whereas in normal mode it takes up to 6 months.
Health insurance always covers genetic consultations recommended by the attending physician (usually a general practitioner, paediatrician, oncologist, gynaecologist or other specialist). During the consultation, a clinical geneticist will assess whether the indication criteria for testing for the predisposition genes are met; if so, the entire genetic test, including laboratory analysis of the sample and subsequent consultation with the geneticist/doctor, is covered by health insurance. If the criteria for the genetic testing are not met, the patient can pay for the selected/recommended test as a self-payment.
After making an appointment, you will come to our office where you will first fill out a personal and family history questionnaire, or you can download it from here on our website and fill it out in advance, in the comfort of your own home. Remember to bring it with you afterwards. This is followed by a consultation with a doctor who will compile your three-generation family tree and decide on the indication for laboratory genetic testing. We also recommend that you bring medical reports from recent important examinations.
Recommendation - a referral from the doctor who recommended the genetic consultation. Alternatively, a completed genetic family and personal history questionnaire, which can be downloaded here. However, the questionnaire can also be completed after you arrive at our office. Medical reports from previous examinations related to the requested genetic test. It is not necessary to be fasting for the genetic examination, so you can easily make an appointment in the afternoon.
It has been reported that approximately 5-10% of cancers are caused by inborn changes in certain genes. One of the main goals of predictive genetic testing is the early identification of people at risk. If risk predispositions (gene mutations) are detected, preventive follow-up at specialised centres is recommended, where possible cancers are detected early and the chances of successful treatment are increased. In the case of high-risk mutations, preventive surgery may be recommended to make the risk of cancer in a given organ virtually impossible (for example, removal of the breast glands or removal of the uterus and ovary in BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers).
If your first-degree relative (parents, siblings, children) develops colon cancer before the age of 45, your risk of developing this cancer is 5 times higher. If you have three first-degree relatives, your risk can be as high as 50%. In families with a history of recurrent bowel cancer or with a history of bowel cancer at a young age, it could be hereditary cancer syndrome (Lynch syndrome). In such cases, genetic consultation is recommended.
