Predictive genetic testing can determine a person's susceptibility or predisposition to developing certain diseases.
80% of adult pathologies have an important genomic basis that determines the predisposition of an individual to suffering a certain problem. Early identification through genetic testing allows the development of prevention strategies to delay the onset of diseases, prevent them, or reduce the complications associated with them.
Alzheimer's has a strong genetic component. It is key to identify the genetic risk an individual has of suffering from the disease to be able to implement a prevention strategy.
Identification of the genetic variants involved in the modification of cholesterol levels in its different forms, and its contribution as a risk factor for obesity.
Genetic assessment of the risk of metabolic disorders that increase the risk of developing heart disease, having a stroke, or developing type 2 diabetes.
Genetic risk for the development of Hereditary Hemochromatosis, a metabolic disease resulting from an excessive accumulation of iron in the blood, liver, heart, and other organs.
