According to the CDC, precision medicine, also called personalized medicine, is an individualized approach to patient care taking into account genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, or SNPs, are genetic variants that may predispose your patients to numerous chronic diseases. Testing can help clinicians identify a patient's genetic predispositions and tailor therapeutics accordingly.
Researchers have identified thousands of SNPs that relate to almost every chronic disease. Truth is, everybody has SNPs. SNPs are common and generally do not result in life-threatening presentations like genetic mutations, which are rare. SNPs are more subtle and act by reducing cellular functions and ultimately an optimal quality of life. Genomic testing can minimize risk by identifying hidden gene polymorphisms that may promote chronic disease. Many people mistakenly assume that the presence of a SNP means they are destined to experience the associated disease. Fortunately, most genes have flexible expressions and often are influenced by modifiable environmental, diet, and lifestyle factors.
In some instances, genotypic SNP testing may prompt phenotypic monitoring of associated biomarkers. For example, if a patient has a polymorphism for MTHFR, homocysteine may be more closely monitored.
SNP testing may be appropriate for patients with:
If you have a family history of disease and you are wondering about your own predisposition, you may consider genomic testing. The good news is that your genes are not your destiny. The genetic markers measured on Genova's profiles assess genes that can be beneficially influenced by making diet and lifestyle changes. You can make healthy changes that may impact genetic expression and disease prevention.
Genova's genomics profiles are ideal for patients who want to understand more about their genetic predisposition to the following conditions:
Genova's genomics testing requires a simple cheek swab to assess important genetic variations. We have many resources to help make your testing experience a success. Review the Test Preparation tab to learn more about the collection process.
The night before collection, use your normal nightly routine of brushing and flossing of teeth, but do not use mouthwash.
Specimen must be collected immediately upon rising. On the morning of collection, do not eat, brush or floss your teeth, use mouthwash, chew gum or use any tobacco, or coffee products. You may drink ONLY water before specimen collection. Just prior to collection, wash your hands completely with hand soap.
