Beverly Hills 6750

While no one can control the future, a sense of control of future events is a known feature of what possibly can make a person happy and content.

Akin to this line of thinking, in the realm of wellness and preventive medicine, it’s been a fantasy to be able to know one’s future disease predilection so that preventive measures can be taken to possibly modify the disease’s manifestation …a fantasy until now! Now, one can take control! The Disease Susceptibility Gene Test is now available at Beverly Hills 6750!

Gene testing now allows an individual to know his susceptibility to more than 100 disease conditions. Medical research and science indicate that while most diseases are determined by BOTH genetic constitution and various environmental factors, getting a heads-up on one’s disease susceptibility through gene testing can impact on how one manages one’s nutrition, weight, exposure to detrimental environmental substances and conditions and clinical decision- making.

An international laboratory that participated in the Human Genome Project —Genetic Center Company Limited is in the forefront of entrepreneurial genomics. With the completion of the human genome sequence, its derivative ramifications in increasing knowledge of DNA sequence differences between individuals, and rapidly advancing technology for reading DNA sequences have further led to significant progress in identifying genes that underlie common, genetically complex diseases (“susceptibility genes”).

Below are FAQ’s on the Disease Susceptibility Gene Test:

1. What is a Disease Susceptibility Gene? The research results of modern medical science indicate that most diseases are determined by various environmental factors and genetic constitution. Genes related to some diseases that bring about health disadvantage are called the susceptibility gene of the disease.

2. What is a Disease Susceptibility Gene Test (DSGT)? Disease susceptibility gene is detected from tissue samples, either blood or exfoliated cells of the mucosal lining of the mouth. Using gene biochip technology, DNA analysis is done and derivative information on what potential diseases people may have inherited are determined. This information allows one to understand their own genetic information and the risk of physical illness, and proactively improve their living environment, nutrition and lifestyle habits.

3. How is tissue sample obtained? This is done by using 2 cotton pledgets that are simply swabbed across the lining of the mouth — one for the left side and one for the right side. These are then smeared and stored in a special collection tray device. After proper sample labeling, these are then shipped out to an international laboratory.

3. What information can Disease Susceptibility Gene Testing tell you? If you carry disease susceptible genes, the likelihood of developing this disease is higher than other people. One can then initiate preventive measures — for example, improved nutrition, adjusting lifestyle habits to avoid harmful environmental factors that may trigger disease manifestation, and going for periodic medical examinations. Studies have shown that even if you have the disease susceptibility gene, so long as early detection and early prevention measures are done, then it may be possible to delay or avoid the occurrence of the disease.

4. What is the difference between Disease Susceptibility Gene Test (DSGT) and Conventional Genetic Tests done in Hospitals? The Disease Susceptibility Gene Test (DSGT) is done to analyze the presence or absence of genetic risk of a specific disease and to predict the possibility of future illness. The conventional genetic tests done in hospitals are usually chromosomal analyses that diagnose and confirm a condition that is already present in the patient e.g. Down’s Syndrome.

5. How does the company protect the privacy of my genetic testing? All of the clients information, DNA samples and test results are kept strictly confidential. DNA samples that are collected are properly stored and labeled using an advanced barcode system before sending the sample to our Genetic Testing Laboratory overseas for gene biochip technology analysis. Our scientists will have access to only the DNA samples with its corresponding bar-code label on it. All documents, reports and samples can only be identified through the matching of the barcode.
