DETAILED INFORMATION

The GenScan® INDIVIDUAL genetic analysis is a modern and accessible tool for personalized prevention, allowing you to gain an advantage in caring for your health. Utilizing the latest findings in molecular genetics, it can uncover any potential health risks hidden in your DNA. Based on the results obtained, adjustments can be made to lifestyle or appropriate preventive measures can be implemented in the interest of health protection.

The analysis examines areas you select related to hereditary and genetically influenced diseases, lifestyle diseases, as well as your body's ability to detoxify harmful substances from the environment (including medications and addictive substances), the risk of oncological or cardiovascular diseases, metabolic or immunological disorders, fertility issues, and more.

It's up to you to decide which areas of health you want to focus on. If you're unsure, we're happy to advise you.

An essential part of the examination is a consultation with a specialist – a geneticist or a physician – who will thoroughly explain the analysis results to you and develop individual preventive measures. They will suggest areas to focus on in the future, or recommend further tests if necessary. If needed, they will recommend appropriate treatment or supplementation. The results of this analysis will enable you to improve your quality of life and maintain good health in the long term.

The result will be delivered within 6 months.

HOW DOES THE WHOLE PROCESS WORK?

After ordering the test, you will receive an email with detailed information. DNA samples are obtained either by a swab from the oral cavity or by blood collection. You can perform the oral swab yourself in the comfort of your home using a collection kit, which we will send to you by mail or through Zásilkovna along with instructions and necessary documents.

Blood collection always takes place at our clinic. The resulting report will be uploaded to your profile on ghcgenetics.cz, followed by a consultation with a specialist. Alternatively, we can arrange a consultation with a geneticist who will explain everything to you and recommend further appropriate steps.

ORDERING

You can easily order the examination on our e-shop.

SAMPLING

We obtain a sample of your DNA either by swabbing the oral cavity or by drawing blood.

ANALYSIS

Our team of experienced professionals will analyse the sample using the latest methods and technologies.

RESULT

After the test is evaluated, you will receive a detailed and understandable laboratory report, followed by a consultation with an expert.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information will I obtain from the analysis and how will it benefit me?

Based on the results of the GenScan® analysis, it is possible to establish, specify, or exclude a diagnosis, determine the cause of any health issues you may have, evaluate the suitability of certain medications and the risk of adverse effects, identify the cause of infertility, target prevention or prophylaxis of multifactorial diseases, exclude or confirm food intolerances, and understand how your body metabolizes toxic substances and responds to environmental influences.

Why does the analysis take so long?

The analysis is conducted using multiple methods on cutting-edge equipment with multiple checks of output data and laboratory information by specialists. Given that it's a comprehensive analysis, approximately 1000 possible areas of your DNA, several hundred gene variants, and around 50 entire genes are evaluated. Finally, a physician evaluates the acquired data and compiles a final report for you. All information obtained from the analysis will be thoroughly discussed with you during a joint meeting, where individual preventive recommendations will be formulated, or treatment advice will be provided. Consultation with a GHC Genetics doctor is included in the analysis price.

Can children also be tested?

They cannot. Testing for any predictive analysis is not recommended for individuals under the age of 18. In children, this type of testing is only possible in justified cases and based on a doctor's recommendation according to applicable criteria.

What happens to the obtained DNA, and what occurs with it after the analysis is evaluated?

Privacy protection and the security of your data are one of our main priorities. The analysis and evaluation of the obtained sample are performed anonymously based on an assigned unique identifier. According to applicable legislation, DNA samples are disposed of in a prescribed manner after genetic laboratory testing is completed.

I'm only interested in one or two areas and don't know what to possibly supplement them with?

We're happy to help you with your selection. Additionally, for general prevention of the most common lifestyle diseases, we particularly recommend the following panels: oncogenetics, cardiogenetics, metabolism, and gastroenterology.
