Understand Genetic Risk Factors. Plan Individual Health Care.
Every human being is unique and genetically different from others. This is reflected in appearance, special talents, and personality, but also in the genetic predisposition to various diseases, such as tumors or cardiovascular diseases. If you know your genetic risk factors, you can actively contribute to preventing or delaying a disease‘s onset or alleviating its symptoms.
Genetic risk factors play an important role in many diseases that frequently occur in our society. However, an individual genetic predisposition to a disease is not necessarily an inevitable fate. Environmental factors such as lifestyle, diet, and exercise may also influence whether a genetic disease breaks out or the affected person remains healthy.
The genetic screening results are, therefore, a guide to health-conscious living. They enable recommendations such as participation in early detection programs for diseases, an adjustment of lifestyle or medication, e.g., to prevent thrombosis on long-distance flights. Therefore, early identification of genetic risk factors and taking preventive measures are important for health promotion.
Early Detection of Tumor Diseases Increases Survival Rate Drastically
For tumor diseases, the following applies: The earlier a tumor is detected, the better the prognosis. The figure illustrates this principle using 5 different tumor entities. If the tumor is diagnosed during the early stages (local), the chances of surviving for 5 years or longer is 80 % to 100 %. Survival rates significantly decrease if the tumor is detected after it has metastasized. CeGaT‘s screening panel checks whether you are at increased risk for tumor disease and should therefore take intensified early detection measures.
Pharmacogenetics – Individual Medication Selection and Dosage
Not every person processes drugs the same way. What one individual benefits from can be ineffective or harmful to others. The CeGaT Disease Prevention Panel detects whether active ingredients are broken down particularly fast or very slowly. Based on this information, the physician can select the best medication and administer it in the correct dosage. This also applies to future therapies.
