GENETIC PREDISPOSITION TO DEVELOP SARCOPENIA

MySarcopenia Genetic Sarcopenia Test

The MySarcopenia genetic test is a genetic test that analyses genetic variants involved in the characterisation of sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia is a disease associated with ageing, characterised by the accelerated loss of muscle mass and function. It is influenced by both genetic and lifestyle factors, and can develop even in middle-aged people.

Knowing the genetics related to this disease allows us to personalise prevention guidelines and the appropriate treatment for each person.

Sarcopenia and muscle mass

What is MySarcopenia used for?

MySarcopenia is recommended for all specialists whose patients have symptoms associated with sarcopenia, related to loss of muscle mass and weakness, or have a family history of sarcopenia.

Introducing MySarcopenia

MySarcopenia is a genetic test to identify the genetic predisposition to develop sarcopenia.
MySarcopenia is a non-invasive test. The DNA is obtained from a saliva sample, is completely painless and is suitable for any person of any age.
MySarcopenia is performed once in a lifetime, genetics does not change.
MySarcopenia analyses genetic markers with scientific validity.
Innovative technology that offers greater accuracy 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 the MySarcopenia test for?

The MySarcopenia test determines the presence or absence of genetic variants associated with sarcopenia. This genetic information makes it possible to:

Identify the genetic predisposition to develop sarcopenia.
Personalise habits according to the needs of each individual based on their genetics to minimise the development or impact of this pathology.

Sarcopenia-related measures

Sarcopenia can be influenced by the weakening of muscle capacities. The following measures, among others, are used to quantify this weakness:

Hand grip strength.
Percentage of muscle mass.

The genetic predisposition to suffer alterations in these aspects increases, in turn, the genetic predisposition to develop sarcopenia.
