One of the main differences between traditional medical examination and genetic testing is that traditional medical examination can only find out the problem base on current condition or base on signs and symptoms. In other words, it is unable to prognose whether you are in high risk until signs and symptoms occur. However, it might be too late for treatments already. Genetic testing can detect the problem in cellular level even without signs and symptoms. It can prevent diseases from happening or getting worse.

The study of gene has begun in early 80’s. After years of research and development by scientists and other professionals, genetic testing has been widely used gradually. For examples: cancers screening, beauty and fitness, personality and IQ, talent etc. As technologies improve continuously, the accuracy of genetic testing can be 99% or above in accuracy at the technical level. This accuracy rate is usually referred to the manufacturers specifications. In addition, accuracy is directly proportion to the size of the database also. Gene Discovery Company Limited are using 12 international well-known databases as references which enhance the accuracy of the test results

Not all genetic testing needs to do regularly. For instance, inherited gene test (also called susceptible gene test) such as musical talent and linguistic ability, those kinds of tests are required once in your life only. However, gene mutation might occur due to environmental issues and personal life-habits. It usually induces some diseases such as cancers. In this case, other kind of genetic testing is required such as circulating tumor DNA test for cancer screening, it requires periodically.

Genetic testing is used to discover the hidden disorders in your body before you suffer from an illness. It is a revolutionary test for predicting the occurrence of some diseases, allowing advance planning of optimal health care methods based on results from the genetic test, avoiding any further progression of a disease a person already has or is susceptible to. Compared to conventional medical screening technologies, results from genetic testing are of higher precision and are more reliable in predicting long-term outcomes of the individual’s health. Additionally, genetic tests are essential for understanding our genetic code. The human genome contains approximately 3 billion base pairs. Scientific research shows that 90% of the sequence variations in human genes are caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). A SNP is when there is a difference in one base out of 100-300 base pairs approximately. SNP analysis helps determine genetic factors that contribute to a person’s physical fitness and how susceptible they are to a certain disease. Gene testing is like scientific divination, which helps you learn of your disease risk by analyzing your susceptibility gene. Thus, you can select the personalized health care. Therefore, an effective health management can be achieved, and the true meaning of preventive medicine can be realized. In genetic testing, the most advanced molecular biotechnology is applied to understand the relationship between genetic and physiological events, such as hereditary disease, and find ways to improve people’s health and quality of life.

Yes, you do. Physical examination and genetic testing are entirely different. A physical examination is solely for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment, detecting the presence of a disease after it has occurred. Genetic testing is able to assess a person’s susceptibility to a disease before it has occurred and helps identify the condition that is likely to arise in the future. A genetic test is aimed at prevention against a specific disease or many diseases so that people can take steps to prevent or reduce risk. It is not uncommon that by the time a person is diagnosed with a certain disease, the detection result suggests a more severe case, especially in cancer. Genetic testing helps people discover genes that contribute to a disease or susceptibility genes early so that people can take measures to prevent the diseases by inhibiting the expression of those susceptibility genes. At the same time, genetic testing offers guidance to avoid potential health problems. Don’t wait until it is too late. Health is wealth because if you are not careful enough, more money will be spent on your health. It’s better to think ahead and take a genetic test.
