UPCOMING EVENTS: GENETIC TESTS AND GUT MICROBIOME – 9 SEPTEMBER 2024
GENETIC PREDISPOSITION TO COLLAGEN-ASSOCIATED DISEASES
Hereditary profile associated with collagen
This profile evaluates genetic markers related to collagen-associated diseases, providing crucial information that allows the specialist to prevent or reduce the impact of the following pathologies:
- Osteoarthritis
- Arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis
- Dermatomyositis
- Systemic Lupus erythematosus
- Collagenopathies
Non-invasive
Una vez en la vida
Once in a lifetime
Introducing the collagen test
- Genetic test to identify genetic predisposition to develop collagen-associated diseases due to a mutation in collagenases or an autoimmune disorder
- Non-invasive test. The DNA is obtained from a saliva sample, is completely painless and is suitable for any person of any age.
- It is performed once in a lifetime, genetics does not change.
- It analyses genetic markers with scientific validity.
- Innovative technology that offers greater precision and depth in the results.
Once the sample has been received in the laboratory, you will receive your results within a maximum of 20 days.
Who is it aimed at?
It is designed for medical specialists in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of collagen-related diseases, such as primary care physicians, rheumatologists and paediatricians.
It is recommended for anyone with a clinical suspicion or family history of a collagen-associated disease.
Collagen-associated diseases
Diseases associated with collagen are those that affect the production, structure or integrity of this protein and, consequently, cartilage and bones, causing various disorders:
- Collagenopathies: genetic diseases associated with mutations in one of the identified collagen genes, which affect the production of this protein.
- Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear of the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones.
- Arthritis: The immune system attacks the cartilage in the joints.
- Ankylosing spondylitis: A disease that can cause some of the bones of the spine (vertebrae) to fuse together.
- Dermatomyositis: A chronic inflammatory disease, which may develop into an inflammatory myopathy with cutaneous manifestations that may or may not involve myositis (muscle inflammation) or may be systemic.
- Systemic lupus erythematosus: Severe autoimmune disease resulting in irreversible loss of tolerance to altered molecular responses, especially to an altered interferon signature, and activation of inflammatory pathways.
