myGenome April 20, 2021 by Description Description myGenome is the whole genome sequencing and interpretation service to prevent disease and improve the health of your patients. The test is designed for healthy individuals proactive in taking care of their health. What kinds of diseases are tested? The test has a special focus on cardiovascular diseases and cancer risk. Diseases within the following categories are reported as part of the analysis: We analyse information recommended by leading genetics societies as well as information related to actionable diseases that can be prevented or better managed through early detection. myGenome include: myGenome Genetic diseases +650 Diseases that you can pass on to your children +225 Multifactorial diseases that depend on genetics and environment 15 Information on how your body reacts to different drugs based on your genetics +150 Information on traits related to diet, athletics, longevity, nutrition, metabolism and more +50 Pre and post test consultation with a Genetic Counselor Information about your ancestors 1950€ ORDER MYGENOME *More comprehensive analysis of cardiovascular disease and cancer risk What does the report include? We provide a comprehensive report with the following sections: Clinical outcomesInterpretation of 566 genes related to more than 650 conditions that may have a major impact on the patient’s health.Carrier statusAnalysis of more than 200 conditions for which the patient may be an asymptomatic carrier.Multifactorial diseasesComplex pathologies that depend on genes and environment.PharmacogenomicsStudy of genes related to metabolism, secondary targets and transporters to understand the effect of more than 150 drugs on the patient.Genetic traits.Individual characteristics influenced by genes and environment.Ancestry.Analysis of DNA variants to establish the genetic origin of the patient’s ancestry. I want to order myGenome, what are the next steps? 1. Receive your genetic counseling consultation Once you have purchased the test, we will contact you to set up a genetic counseling consultation to review your case and prescribe the test. 2. Receive your kit, give your sample and organize the shipment Veritas will send you the saliva kit. You will then notify us when it is ready for shipment. 3. Analysis of your sample and provide the results. We sequence all your DNA, extracting the relevant clinical information that will be provided in your report. The maximum period to complete the study and receive your report is 16 weeks. 4. Complete the post-test consultation to review your results. A medical professional will explain your results during a genetic counseling consultation. During the session, you will be provided a comprehensive explanation of your results and any recommended actions that can assist with your on-going healthcare management. ORDER MYGENOME What our clients say The main reason I chose to have the analysis was to understand my genetics and how it can potentially affect my children. I believe that it is better to know and understand my options for prevention. Laura F., 36 myGenome gave me access to an important preventive healthcare resource, allowing me to know my genetic risks and act accordingly to improve my quality of life. Antonio S., 41 I am very interested in genetics and its importance in the future of healthcare. I chose to have the myGenome analysis because of the scope of information that it provides from my risk to cancer to interesting traits that have helped me better understand my body. Carlos Roberto M., 45 You want to know more? Genetics is a field in constant development that generates multiple doubts and questions, in this section we hope to solve some of them. How does the myGenome test work?myGenome is a genetic sequencing test that is performed from a simple saliva sample. We sequence the entire genome (Whole Genome Sequencing) and issue a complete report of the results. All our tests must be prescribed by a doctor, and include pre and post test genetic counseling. How long does it take to receive my results?The entire process from receiving your sample, analyzing the information, and producing your results takes between 12 and 14 weeks. The estimated delivery time varies because every person’s genomic information is unique and may require different degrees of analysis. Is myGenome suitable for all ages?myGenome is a test that is designed for healthy people of legal age. For a genetic analysis in minors you have myNewborn, a genetic screening test focused on the most frequent genetic pathologies that appear during childhood. Are all genetic tests the same?There are tests that analyze specific positions of your DNA, but they do not study complete genes or the entire genome, these tests are usually cheaper and are known as genotyping tests. If we compare them with a book it would be something like this: In both cases, the data is real! But the information obtained is totally different. In the first case, if we know what to look at exactly, we will probably get interesting information, although we will leave a lot of information unanalyzed, so the clinical utility is very limited. This may not be visible to the naked eye in the report, but your entire genes are not being analyzed. On other occasions, the tests sequence the entire genome but do not have teams of professionals in the interpretation of variants, so they include in the report everything that appears in public databases without review and therefore without a final classification. Many of these variants have no clinical utility, so the doctor cannot adapt the medical management and cause unnecessary alarm in the healthy patient. Do I need a doctor’s prescription to have the analysis? myGenome is a genetic test that provides clinically important information. For this reason, the test requires a prescription. If you cannot obtain the prescription from your doctor Veritas can provide a genetic counseling consultation (included with the test) and a geneticist will evaluate your case and provide the prescription.
