UPCOMING EVENTS: GENETIC TESTS AND GUT MICROBIOME – 9 SEPTEMBER
MyPrevention Diabetes analyzes genetic variants in more than one hundred genes with scientific evidence in characterizing diabetes and its treatment, making it possible to personalize prevention and the therapeutic approach.
Diabetes affects approximately 10.5% of the world’s adult population, of whom between 85% and 95% are diagnosed as type 2. Knowing the genetics related to this disease makes it possible to personalize prevention guidelines and treatment.
MyPrevention Diabetes determines the presence or absence of genetic variants associated with the different types of diabetes, providing the medical specialist with high-value genetic information.
One in every two adults with diabetes has not been diagnosed. Early detection through genetics makes it possible to act before symptoms appear.
Characterized by a slow disease progression, which is why it is usually diagnosed in adults. Its origin is multifactorial: both genetics and environment play an important role.
Type 2 diabetes can be caused by alterations in three processes: reduced insulin sensitivity, reduced insulin production and increased insulin breakdown.
MODY diabetes (Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young) presents characteristics similar to type 2 but has a purely genetic origin. It is estimated that 1 in every 1,000 people with diabetes has it.
The test analyzes the 9 most frequent subtypes, each characterized by a mutation in one gene: HNF4A, GCK, HNF1A, PDX1, HNF1B, KLF11, BLK, ABCC8 and KCNJ11.
In addition to assessing the predisposition to diabetes, the test includes a pharmacogenetic analysis that makes it possible to learn the compatibility with the medications most commonly used in its treatment.
A simple, non-invasive process designed to fit into clinical practice.
The user receives instructions to correctly collect the sample.
DNA is obtained through a saliva sample, painlessly and non-invasively.
The sample is processed to analyze genetic variants related to diabetes and its treatment.
The report details the genetic predisposition, the diabetes classification and the pharmacogenetic compatibility.
Designed for medical specialists in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diabetes: primary care physicians, endocrinologists and pediatricians. It is recommended for people with diabetes, clinical suspicion or a family history.
A genetic screening tool to identify predisposed patients before symptoms appear.
Genetic discrimination between type 2 diabetes and MODY for a specific, personalized therapeutic approach.
People with diabetic family members who want to know their genetic predisposition in order to act preventively.
It is a genetic test that analyzes variants in more than one hundred genes with scientific evidence in characterizing type 2 diabetes and MODY diabetes, as well as the pharmacogenetic compatibility with the most commonly used treatments.
Type 2 diabetes has a multifactorial origin (genetics + environment) and develops slowly, usually being diagnosed in adults. MODY diabetes has a purely genetic origin, is associated with a mutation in a single gene, and can appear at an early age. Distinguishing between the two is key for appropriate treatment.
Yes. In addition to assessing the predisposition to diabetes, the test analyzes the genetic compatibility with the most common medications for its treatment, making it possible to personalize the drug and the dosage.
The sample is obtained non-invasively through saliva. It is painless and suitable for anyone of any age.
No. Genetics doesn’t change throughout life. The analysis is performed only once and the results remain valid permanently.
Once the sample is received at the lab, results are available within a maximum of 20 business days.
For people with diabetes or clinical suspicion, with a family history of diabetes, or as a prevention tool for specialists in primary care, endocrinology and pediatrics.
