Genetic Screening - GHHS Healthcare

Genetic Screening

Each one of us has a unique set of chemical blueprints affecting how our body looks and functions. These blueprints contained in our DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) are inside our body cell. Genes are also found in a specific segment along the length of human DNA; meanwhile, the genetic make-up will determine various conditions and diseases. Most of us have already known about our family’s long medical history. Still, they might not be aware of what type of inheritable conditions and how different diseases are connected.

GHHS Healthcare and Wellness Centre genetic screening service uses the latest genomics technologies to detect known genetic mutations or also recognized as genetic markers, in our DNA. These markers are associated with common and rare genetic illnesses and may also be useful to indicate potential adverse reactions towards certain types of foods or drugs.

Our Genetic Screening is a range of test panels specially designed to screen genetic markers in an individual’s DNA. These genetic markers are also medically linked with an increased risk of developing diseases, for instance, cancer, diabetes, gout and cardiovascular diseases. We need to have a better knowledge of some genetic risks for certain diseases. It will influence and motivate us to make positive changes to our lifestyle.
