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.

An examination of your gut microbiome will show you whether your gut bacteria are in balance and working with your body to maintain a good immune system. A biochemical blood test will reveal whether you are already developing certain risk factors and whether you are lacking any 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.
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.
Reproductive genetics allows to minimize the risks in family planning. Genetic analysis can be used to determine whether one or both of a couple carries a risky hereditary disposition that could cause serious diseases or birth defects in their offspring. It can clarify the cause of infertility or repeated miscarriages.
This area of genetic testing includes testing for hereditary predispositions to blood clotting disorders, which include thrombosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure and other genetic cardiovascular diseases.
DNA is the genetic information stored in the cells of our body and is a combination of the DNA of both of our biological parents. Therefore, when situations or circumstances arise in life that lead to the need to verify one's biological relationship with another person or persons, a DNA kinship test comes into play, which can be used to determine paternity, confirm maternity, consanguinity, as well as to determine the zygosity of twins or the origin of family lines.
Inherited metabolic disorders are caused by defects in enzyme-coding genes involved in metabolism. It is a rather diverse group of several hundred diseases with different manifestations, different types of inheritance and treatment options. As a result of poor metabolic function, metabolism is impaired, which can lead to severe organ damage. A large number of metabolic disorders result in health problems caused by the accumulation of substances that become toxic and interfere with the normal functioning of the body.
Pharmacogenetics is the study of how differences in our genes affect how drugs act on our bodies and how our bodies respond to those drugs. Genetic predispositions affect the rate of metabolic processing (activation or breakdown) of a drug, its concentration in the blood, the effectiveness of treatment and the risk of side effects. Based on this knowledge, the appropriate drug can be selected for a particular patient, the appropriate dose can be determined and the risk of side effects can be minimised.
Oncological disease, popularly known as cancer, is currently one of the most common diseases of affluence. Tumours arise from the uncontrolled proliferation of cells, which occurs randomly or as a result of an inherited mutation in a specific gene. According to the characteristics of the tumour and the prognosis of the disease, we distinguish between benign and malignant tumours, which are 10-15% hereditary. The most common cancers include breast and ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer and various types of leukaemia.
This group of genetic examinations is aimed at detecting the risk of hereditary and genetically determined diseases. This is both for the purpose of prevention (prediction) aimed at capturing genetic changes associated with the risk of developing a disease during life, for the purpose of diagnosis in persons with specific symptoms or manifestations of a disease, and last but not least, for the purpose of detecting possible transmission before family planning.
At GHC Genetics, we now offer 2 types of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT): the MaterniT 21+ and the MaterniT Genome.
The non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is designed for pregnant women. It can detect the risk of chromosomal defects such as Down's, Patau's and Edwards syndromes with an accuracy of more than 99%. This test, available from 9 weeks of pregnancy, is a gentle and reliable way to get key information about your baby's genetic health.
A comprehensive spectrum of prenatal examinations (including NIPT) and above-standard prenatal care and control of fetal health throughout the entire pregnancy is offered by our sister Centre of Prenatal Diagnostics PRENET in Pardubice. It performs biochemical screening for birth defects in the first and second trimesters, integrated screening for birth defects and non-invasive tests (NIPT). It also performs ultrasound screenings with the innovative Voluson E8 ultrasound machine, both in the first trimester (including NT, FMF certified sonographer) and also at 20 and 30 weeks of pregnancy, as well as targeted super-conciliar ultrasound. The prenatal centre also includes a genetics clinic.
The propensity to certain diseases, but also how the body reacts to various risk factors and external influences, is stored in our DNA. GenScan® genetic analysis is aimed at detecting a wide range of health risks and the possibility of developing diseases of civilization. Whether and to what extent, if at all, the potential predispositions to develop a particular disease come to fruition over the course of a lifetime is influenced quite significantly by our lifestyle. Based on a comprehensive and detailed genetic analysis, GenScan® can reveal genetic predispositions to certain diseases, allowing you to focus your prevention and health care in the right direction and improve your quality of life.
The test is particularly suitable for those who want to maintain their health in the best possible condition in the long term. In addition to predispositions to hereditary and/or civilization diseases, the results of the analysis will also help to determine, for example, what lifestyle changes are specifically desirable for you, what laboratory values you should regularly monitor, which medications, if any, are most suitable for you and in what dosage, the cause of your difficulties in conceiving or recurrent illness in your family, and many others.
In our laboratory, physicians and geneticists with many years of experience are involved in developing tests, performing genetic analyses, and interpreting results. This allows us to provide you with a truly detailed view of your health and the highest level of care. We make sure that the results of the analysis are easy to understand and as beneficial to you as possible. A consultation with your doctor is an essential part of the examination, so that your personal medical history is taken into account when evaluating the results and the conclusions of the analysis are explained in a clear manner. This gives you a clear report on your health, a comprehensive set of personalised recommendations on how best to compensate for any risks, and answers to any questions you may have about your health. Improve your life - it's in your genes and in your hands.
