Genetic Screening - LifeCare Diagnostic Medical Centre

Discover Your Genetic Risks for Diseases Early
Genetic screening can detect possible risks for many genetic diseases before symptoms appear. Based on the detailed results, you can work closely with your doctor to develop a suitable health management plan to mitigate or delay the possible onset of disease through preventive actions.

Benefits of Genetic Screening

Genetic screening could help you if:

Have a family history of cancer, heart attack, diabetes, stroke, cardiovascular, and/or metabolic diseases.
Would like to know your risk factors for inherited diseases or disorders.
Want to be more proactive in managing your health, and the health of your loved ones.

You have a unique mix of genes and genetic markers which are inherited from your parents. These markers may relate to disease risks. By knowing your risks, you can monitor your health closely and take proactive measures to live longer and healthier.

Understand & Manage Your Health With Genetic Screening

This test screens your DNA for genetic markers that are linked to inherited risk factors for a wide range of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancers. These markers serve as a ‘red flag’ in your DNA and can indicate if you are predisposed to a certain type of disease, disorder, or cancer.

With the information from these markers, you can be better prepared to make lifestyle and dietary changes to mitigate your health risks, if necessary. The comprehensive test results can help you to work with our doctor to develop a personalised health management plan for more effective prevention options.

All genetic markers screened have been published and experimentally replicated in peer-reviewed scientific journals. This test uses the latest research technologies available from illumine, Inc. and Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc, USA.

Any preparation needed before I come for Genetic Screening?

No preparation needed. No need to fast unless you are doing other tests for health screening which requires you to fast.

Limitations

Genetic screening can indicate whether an individual has a predisposition or is at increased likelihood of having an inherited disease or disorder. However, it cannot indicate if the individual will show symptoms, how severe the symptoms will be, or whether the disease or disorder will progress over time.

A negative test result does not mean that an individual will not get the inherited disease or disorder because this test is designed to detect only highly significant genetic markers which have been documented during medical research. Environmental and lifestyle factors also play a role in the development of inherited diseases and disorders.
