Genomic profiling in Cancer

  • Cancer is a genetic disease caused by changes in DNA
  • These changes trigger an abnormal cell growth which forms tumour that invade healthy organs and tissue
  • Many genes can cause cancer
  • Two people having same cancer affecting the same body part are most likely different at genetic level and will respond differently

  • Type 2 Diabetes patients
  • Diabetic patients suffering from heart conditions
Key Benefits
  • A complete solution for Diabetes patients including medication, food and complications
  • Test response to 50+ medications
  • Avoid complications including heart conditions, blindness, chronic kidney disease and obesity
Test Details
  • Sample Requirement: 5ml of blood in EDTA tube
  • Illumina Genotyping Microarray
  • NABL and DSIR certified laboratory
Reports
  • Reporting time: 4 weeks

Diabetes

  • Diabetes is one of the most challenging health problems in India. Incidence of diabetes is increasing and so are its complications.
  • Diabetes leads to a reduced life expectancy and quality of life, as well as a greater risk of heart disease, stroke, peripheral neuropathy, renal disease, blindness and amputation
  • Genomics testing can help manage your diabetes by extending medical therapies as well as help restore normal glucose metabolism.
  • Genomics test from Positive Bioscience can help you in following ways.
    • Knowing the risk: There are more than 30 genes strongly associated with Type 2 Diabetes. Once you know which gene is driving your diabetes you can take preventive actions.
    • Pharmacogenomics : Know whether you are on the right drug or not.Know which antidiabetic will help you the most from the list of all antidiabetic drugs.
      1. Repaglinide: Variation in SLCO1B1 gene can alter the effect of Repaglinide in you.
    • Nutrigenomics: Effect of various food items depend on your genetic profile. Knowing your genetic profile will help you know what to and what not to eat to manage your diabetes

Your Athletic Potential: Power

Endurance

Endurance performance involves slow twitch muscle fibres that are very efficient and can work continuously for longer duration e.g. Marathon, Swimming etc.

Power

Power performance involves fast twitch muscle fibres that are responsible for generating the short, explosive bursts of power needed in activities e.g. Sprinting, Weight lifting etc.

Summary of Gene Effects on Performance in Sports

My Diet & My Exercise Test

Health is not everything for us but without health everything is nothing. Without knowing what diet/fitness regime is genetically right for us, every time we attempt to change it, we are essentially flying blind and many times, doing things that are counterproductive to our goals. Now the time has come to do the NEEDFUL again based on our 21st century DNA based dietary/fitness advice for optimum results. Because this is unique for unique genetic profile of all of us, we call it My Diet and My Exercise.

Many forms of sport and exercise are effective at improving health but at the same time some activities increase the risk of injury, disease or sudden death. The risk of suffering some injuries, diseases or death during sport is partially inherited. Genetic tests will assist sports person and trainer in the prognosis and identification of genes having predisposition to genetic risk of injuries.
