Medicine and genetics are evolving rapidly, and personalized healthcare is advancing with them.
At Genosophy, we use pioneering services and innovative methods to transform the information encoded in your DNA into comprehensive, personalized care. By combining state-of-the-art genetic testing with value-added consultation services, we empower you not only to understand your body in depth, but also to take care of your health in a way that aligns with your unique genetic profile.
In this section, you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our services and tests. We are here to guide you and help you understand how the tests work and how they can improve your daily life
With GENOSOPHY’s genetic testing, we can identify predispositions — that is, an increased likelihood of developing a disease. In this specific test, we examine polymorphisms related to diseases, and if we detect them, we know how to intervene, always with the support of a healthcare professional, in order to prevent or at least delay the onset of symptoms.
Για παράδειγμα, ιδιαίτερα σε κάποιες περιοχές όπως η Κρήτη, είναι πολύ συχνά τα γονίδια της οστεοπόρωσης. Ο επιστήμονας της υγείας γνωρίζοντάς τα μπορεί να κάνει μικρές αλλά σημαντικές παρεμβάσεις ώστε να καθυστερήσει την εμφάνισή της και να αποτρέψει τα προβλήματα που προκαλεί.
Yes! Through Nutrigenetics, we can gather valuable information about which foods benefit or do not benefit an individual’s body, helping to further support their treatment or improve their overall health.
Of course, there are genes associated with longevity. However, their presence alone is not enough. Proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle are essential to fully harness the potential they offer.
For the security of genetic information, names are encoded according to international standards so that no third party can access your genetic profile. The only person who will receive the results, besides you, is the healthcare professional overseeing your case.
The information provided is valuable not only for children but even for infants. However, if the infant has not yet been weaned (and thus still has many maternal cells present in its mouth), a small blood sample from the newborn is sent to our laboratory instead of buccal cells.
The test is performed using a special swab that collects a sample of cells from the inside of the cheek (buccal smear), a completely painless and quick procedure. Using the latest technology, these few cells are enough to extract DNA from which over 750,000 genetic polymorphisms are analyzed. The information obtained will lead to personalized nutritional recommendations.
