 Illness prior to the daily health care has already been more and more attention to the continuous improvement of people's living standard. We all know that to "take precautionary measures," How can for your personal or family circumstances, "targeted" to make the most advantageous choice? In the United States, Europe and other technologically advanced countries, it has been widely used a new approach to guide health management to take preventive measures. According to reports, breast cancer, colon cancer and other diseases, which have seriously affected the quality of life, their incidence rate has been reduced by 50% or more, this will not only ensure the quality of life of high-risk populations, but also saved an enormous amount of medical expenses for the family and society. This new medical and health management style is guided by gene test.
The latest discovery in biomedical research shows that disease occurrence is subject to the combined effect of both genetic and environmental processes. Among them, genetic material is to generate an exception occurred on internal diseases, but also basic. These anomalies may come from parents congenital, but also may be acquired by adverse environmental factors induce formed. Gene test use genetics, molecular biology techniques to detects, analysis, and discovers the abnormal genetic material and unusual process. Through genetic testing, people can learn if they are prone to certain common diseases (The risk of disease susceptibility). On the one hand, it can help people to delay the occurrence and deterioration of the disease, and to remind those who are detected to avoid contacting with a specific disease-related harmful substances, and to conduct periodic medical examination in order to lower the damage of disease to the least degree by early diagnosis as well as early treatment. On the other hand, it can help physicians understand the patient's sensitivity to the medicine and the possibility of adverse reactions, then select more effective and safer treatment. Therefore, the current gene test could guide people to combat the disease by risk warning and medication.
"Disease susceptibility genetic testing technical services products", which is based on the human genome research and with the use of advanced gene-chip techniques, Tapman probe SNP testing techniques and DNA sequencing, it can detect on your genes, to see if you have disease susceptibility. Early awareness and early prevention can enable us to improve the living quality. In order to meet different requirements of customers at different levels, United Gene Group provided a series of disease susceptibility genetic testing technical service products.
Genetic testing is as popular as the traditional medical physical examinations in developed countries. In the past year, gene test has been adopted by several million people in USA and U.K., while more than 200,000 people in China also have taken it. Gene test has even appeared in health supermarkets.
What is gene?
Gene is a sequence of DNA with biological functions which is composed of four kinds of nucleotides, A, T, C, G. Gene contains genetic code and can transmit information of heredity,
In short, gene is the essential factor of life as well as the internal cause of human's birth, aging, sickness and death, the internal cause of health, beauty and longevity and the manipulator and regulator of life. Gene dominates life. For example, your features, stature, weight, complexion, personality and disease are closely related with gene.
What is disease susceptibility gene?
Modern medicine believes that diseases are resulted from the interaction of innate genetic disposition and postnatal extrinsic factors. Gene is involved in the occurrence of most diseases. The relevant genes of diseases that correspond to genetic disposition unfavorable for health are known as disease susceptibility gene.
Relation between susceptibility gene and human disease
Under normal circumstance, gene participates in growth and development of human body by encoding protein synthesis while in certain circumstances, gene results in disorder of human body functions once changes happen in the gene. Diseases are brought on if external factors are combined. For example, tumors are due to the abnormality of anti-oncogenes and external adverse factors and such common diseases as hypertension, hyperlipemia and diabetes are closely related to changes of certain genes.
In a word, if you get susceptibility genes, you are more vulnerable to certain diseases.
What is the significance of disease susceptibility gene test?
Disease susceptibility gene test is to examine and analyze whether human body carries certain disease susceptibility gene by applying molecular biological approaches, then scientifically evaluate the risk of suffering from certain disease and provide the testee with relevant health instruction so as to carry out pertinent disease prevention. On the one hand, the test can help people to delay the occurrence and deterioration of the disease, and to remind those who are detected to avoid contacting with a specific disease-related harmful substances, and to conduct periodic medical examination in order to lower the damage of disease to the least degree by early diagnosis as well as early treatment. On the other hand, it can help physicians understand the patient's sensitivity to the medicine and the possibility of adverse reactions, then select more effective and safer treatment.
How to take disease susceptibility gene test?
UGI’s client will get a Self-help DNA Sample Collection Package that contain complete testing instrument. You just need to collect a sample according to the instruction in the package then send it to our test center. After our scientific test and evaluation, you will receive specific professional "Disease susceptibility gene test report" as well as health guide book from us.
The sampling process is easy, convenient, safe and painless.
The test result and health guide are individually specific, accurate, scientific, reliable and effective.
What diseases could be early warned by disease susceptibility gene test?
UGI’s disease susceptibility gene test is mainly focusing on more than 40 diseases and 100 susceptible sites. The four categories of relevant diseases are listed below.
1) Cardio-cerebrovascular diseases
Atherosclerosis; Hyperlipemia; Hypercholesterolemia; Hypertriglyceridemia;
Coronary heart disease; Atrial fibrillation; Essential hypertension;
Ischemic stroke; Hemorrhagic stroke; Alzheimer disease;
2) Endocrine diseases
Apple obesity; Pear obesity; Postpartum obesity; Type I diabetes;
Type II diabetes; Type II diabetic nephropathy; Type II diabetic retinopathy;
Type II diabetes with coronary heart disease; Graves' disease;
3) Cancer
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma; Laryngeal carcinoma; Lung cancer;
Esophageal carcinoma; Gastric carcinoma; Primary hepatocellar carcinoma;
Colon cancer; Rectal cancer; Adult acute lymphocytic leukemia;
Prostate cancer; Breast cancer; Ovarian cancer; Cervical cancer;
4) Other common diseases
Hepatitis B chronicity; Posthepatitic B cirrhosis; Primary biliary cirrhosis;
Autoimmune hepatitis; Gastroduodenal ulcer; Allergic rhinitis; Asthma ;
Rheumatoid arthritis; Systemic Lupus Erythematosus; IgA nephropathy.
What techniques we used in our disease susceptibility gene test?
UGI’s laboratories use the international advanced techniques in the disease susceptibility gene test. For example, gene-chip techniques, Taqman probe SNP testing techniques and DNA sequencing are all involved.
What to do if you are identified to carry susceptibility gene of certain disease?
Modern research reveals that even though susceptibility genes present, early detection and early prevention can delay or even prevent the occurrence of diseases. When you find that you carry the susceptibility genes of certain diseases, please pay more attention to it. Do not worry too much and excessive pressure is completely unnecessary. UGI will certainly provide you with the health guide book that contains professional, specific and detailed advice and living tips, which could enable you to prevent the disease and improve your living quality.
