What information can be obtained by genetic testing?

Genetic testing refers to extracting and amplifying the genetic information of the blood and oral mucosa cells of the subjects, and then detecting the genetic information of DNA molecules in the cells of the subjects through gene chips and other technologies, and analyzing the information including disease risk, drug safety, nutritional metabolism, exercise potential, ancestral source analysis and so on.

I. Risk of disease

Through genetic testing, we can predict the risk of high-risk diseases, detect whether we carry genes of congenital genetic diseases, and help tumor patients to carry out personalized medical care, mainly involving reproductive reproduction, including non-invasive prenatal screening before embryo implantation and gene diagnosis PGS/PGD, genetic disease screening, genetic tumor gene testing and so on.

2. Drug safety guidelines

It is to interpret the genetic code related to drug reactions, predict the degree of adverse reactions of patients to different drugs, and play a certain guiding role in clinical medication. Referring to the results of genetic testing, doctors can put forward individualized medication plans suitable for each patient in drug selection, dose control and combination medication when prescribing, so as to ultimately achieve the purpose of improving drug efficacy, reducing drug side effects and reducing medical expenses. Let patients spend the shortest time and the least money to achieve the best treatment effect.

Three. Nutritional metabolism

The detection of nutritional genes mainly includes the detection of carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism, the detection of absorption capacity of vitamins, amino acids and minerals, and the detection of alcohol metabolism. According to the results of genetic testing and clinical manifestations, a personalized nutrition and health management system can be formulated.

Four. Sports potential

The items of sports gene testing mainly include endurance, explosiveness, balance ability and fracture injury risk. In the process of weight-loss exercise, a reasonable weight-loss exercise plan can be made according to the individual's physical fitness, which can effectively reduce the risk of sports injury.

An Analysis of the Ancestor Origin of verb (the abbreviation of verb)

Ancestor analysis is a popular testing item in consumer-grade gene testing. Ancestor analysis is feasible in theory, but of little value in practical guidance.
