Detailed information
Through an analysis of over 300 gene variants, GenScan® provides you with a detailed
test report answering questions such as “How your body works” and “What you can do
to remain healthy”. The Genes act as your body's internal code, providing information for growth and
development to your cells and organs beginning from birth. These codes mostly go
unchanged throughout life, but are greatly influenced by external factors.
Targeting the 23 most common diseases in the UK, GenScan® seeks to provide a genetic
scan of your body allowing you to understand not only how your body works, but how
your lifestyle, family and medical history have been influencing and continue to influence
the functioning of your body. This enables you to enact appropriate lifestyle and medical
changes, suggested by our genetic specialist, which can help you to remain healthy for
longer.
Who is the test suitable for?
With 8 distinct panels ranging from Cardiovasular Disease to Metabolism and Neurology,
GenScan® provides a clear and comprehensive look at all the major diseases and
illnesses which often bring concern at various times in life. Ensuring that regardless of
age, you are in a better position to take charge of your life and stop the development
of diseases such as Alzheimer's or Lung Cancer before they occur.
Your test report includes specific guidelines and recommendations on what you can
do to help secure your health. With recommendations customised to your genes
by our genetic specialist covering both diet and exercise and with treatment and
suggested medication guidelines for your GP, GenScan® is the only test you need to
discover all the secrets your body has to tell.
Why?
Your genes know what your body needs. It’s time you know too. Treat your body the way
it deserves and get health right! True health starts with recognising that you have the
power to choose what is right for your body.
From start to finish the entire testing process is Easy, Simple and Affordable.
We believe in giving all individuals an equal opportunity to gain
control of their health. As such, we pride ourselves on offering the
lowest prices in the UK! Healthcare is not a luxury. It is a right!
How does the test work?
Specifically designed for the individual body, GenScan® helps to place you on the path to life byproviding you with a tailor-made report highlighting how your body works, the role your family and medical history play in your health and how you can work with your GP, Personal trainer and others to ensure that you get on the path to health faster and remain there longer.
How is the test done?
You can order the test from attending your Doctor/GP, private clinic or online at ghcgenetics. co.uk. Once you have signed the informed consent form, either a swab of your mouth will be taken or a blood sample will be collected. Once the genetic analysis is finished, you or your Doctor/GP will receive a report with the results and based on these he/she will recommend suitable preventive measures.
