Genetic Score Test: discover your polygenic risk
The Genetic Score Test is a genetic test that provides information about the risk of developing common multifactorial diseases, such as type-2 diabetes, breast cancer, prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease.
What is polygenic risk?
The most common diseases often have a multifactorial origin, that is, they are caused by a combination of genetic factors, environmental factors and lifestyles.
In these cases, the genetic risk is associated with thousands or millions of common variants in the genome, referred to as the polygenic risk.
What are the benefits of the Genetic Score Test?
The test is performed once in a lifetime and is based on the analysis of genetic variants associated with certain diseases. The test results provide valuable information to better understand your health status, make healthier lifestyle choices, and establish prevention strategies aimed at reducing your risk.
How does the Genetic Score Test work?
The Genetic Score Test is simple and non-invasive. It only requires the collection of a blood or saliva sample, from which the DNA is extracted and sequenced via NGS technology.
Performing the test evaluates the cardiovascular risk, the risk of developing type-2 diabetes, prostate cancer and breast cancer.
Cardiovascular diseases
Screening can identify people with a risk comparable to or greater than that associated with familial hypercholesterolaemia mutations.
Type-2 diabetes
Type-2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes from the age of 45, and the risk increases in the presence of family history or if you are overweight.
Breast cancer
The test evaluates a genetic component that, together with other clinical factors, contributes to the risk of breast cancer.
Prostate cancer
The Genetic Score Test allows you to know if the patient’s genetic factors increase the risk of prostate cancer.
Knowing the genetic risk for specific diseases allows the development of a prevention plan based on the modification of related risk factors.
