DNA is the material that carries all the information about how a living thing will look and function in our body. Understanding this information is known as genomics. Learning and knowing your potential genetic risk factors will empower you to manage your life style and healthcare to help create better healthcare outcomes. Genetic testing has made new potential in health management possible.
Genes are the building blocks of life that we inherit. There are genetic codes for every functional element in the human body from our apperance to the our physical ability. Your genes can even determine the risk for certain health conditions like cancer, obesity and many other conditions.
Advancement in science, technology and healthcare has made it possible to analyze and predict your health based on your genetics. With this powerful information you are able to direct certain lifestyle changes can help you manage your health risk conditions early on in life.
Human are made up of cells
Cells are made up of nucleus
Nucleus is made up of chromosomes
Chromosomes are made up of DNA
Changes in nucleotides lead to genetic variations

Predictive genetics is a test used to determine if an asymptomatic individual (someone who isn't presenting with any clinical signs or symptoms of a genetic condition) has a gene variant which may cause disease in the future.
These tests are used to identify your risk, as a currently healthy person, of developing a condition later in life. This information gives you the opportunity to take steps to reduce the chance of developing the condition or minimise your symptoms

Population with high risk of obesity
Population with predisposition to blue eyes

| SCORE | DEPICTION | INTERPRETATION | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0-2 | Excellent / Protective | An ‘excellent / protective’ score indicates a very favorable response or ability for a trait | |
| 2.1-4 | Excellent / Protective | A ‘good / lower risk’ score indicates a favorable response or ability for a trait | |
| 4.1-6 | Typical | A ‘typical’ score indicates a typical response or ability for a trait | |
| 6.1-8 | Poor / Slightly Elevated | A ‘poor / slightly elevated’ score indicates an unfavorable response or ability for a trait | |
| 8.1-10 | Very Poor / Highly Elevated | A ‘very poor / highly elevated’ score indicates a very unfavorable response or ability for a trait |
This report provides information about genetic predispositions only and may not indicate current conditions or characteristics.
Genetic risk or predisposition given in the report is based on statistically relevant genomics research studies, which should not be taken as a diagnosis of any health condition or overall wellness.
The information in the report may provide an understanding of one’s genetic risks and may help in making informed decisions regarding one’s wellness and goals.
Traits in the report are not genetically interlinked; their genetic associations are independent of each other. Therefore, every trait score and interpretation are independent of each other.
Please consult with your doctor, or other qualified health care professional before making any dietary, fitness, health and wellness related changes.
