Q: What are genes and genetic tests?
A: Genes are the working subunit of DNA. They contain instructions passed on from parents to make molecules called proteins, which in turn determine certain physical and health characteristics of the offspring. Each human is estimated to have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes. Genetic testing uses laboratory methods to look at your genes. They may be used to identify increased risks of health problems, to choose treatments, or to assess responses to treatments.
Q: Why do I need a Personal Genetic Test in managing my health?
A: It is now known that almost every disease is influenced, caused, regulated, or modulated by our genes, as is our body’s responses to environmental factors such as diet, drugs, carcinogens, and others. LeGENE Personal Genetic Tests provide strikingly precise answers for many conditions that is otherwise almost impossible for you to know in advance.
Q: How is my DNA tested?
A: For most LeGENE Personal Genetic Tests, only your saliva or blood is required, and is very safe. We recommend the youngest age of saliva sampling to be 3 months old. After collection, your specimen will be shipped to one of the LeGENE exclusively contracted, US FDA-certified / Germany DAkkS-accredited genetic centers for testing.
Q: What can be done if I found out I have genetic risks of a disease, or even risk of a cancer?
A: LeGENE provides a Genetic Professionals-led comprehensive health maintenance and medical disease prevention programs – through our network of Medical Specialists, tailor-made body check portfolio, diet and lifestyle recommendations, together we steer towards a better health outcome based on your unique DNA.
Q: Who will benefit from a genetic test?
A: Every one of us should be benefited from knowing our own DNA. With human genetic knowledge, we can plan our lives and act not by chances but choices, before any potential mishap like cancer, hereditary diseases, or prenatal conditions impacts on our lives. Other DNA technologies like parentage testing or body trait also lead us to the truth that can’t be found anywhere else.
Q: Is testing of my DNA accurate?
A: DNA testing is a very complex science & technology. The accuracy of DNA tests can only be guaranteed in properly accredited genetic centers like US FDA, CLIA, or Germany National DAkkS-certified genetic laboratories.
Q: Why do genetic tests cost more than usual laboratory tests?
A: For ensuring a high standard of accuracy, the genetic laboratory environment is strictly under special control. The procedures are governed by genetic experts, and all equipment & reagents are specially developed. The use of the most updated human genetics databases are also essential elements for a valid gene test interpretation.
