myGenome

The most comprehensive genetic prevention test for healthy people

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 is included with myGenome?

The report includes actionable information in the below categories, always managed through pre and post test genetic counselling.

+650

Clinical outcomes
Interpretation of genes related to actionable conditions that have an impact on an individual´s health.

+225

Carrier status
Analysis of more than 200 conditions that can be passed on to children.

+150

PharmacogenomicsStudy of the metabolism of more than 150 drugs.

+15

Multifactorial diseases
Conditions where both genetic and environmental risk factors are involved.

+50

Genetic traits
Individual characteristics influenced by genes and environment.


Ancestry
Analysis of variants in the DNA to establish the ancestry background.

Why is whole genome sequencing important?

Whole genome sequencing not only gives a more complete picture, but also provides you with a resource that you can refer to again and again.

17%

17% of people have genetic variants that increase the risk of diseases.1

20%

Up to 20% of cancer cases are related to hereditary factors.2

20%

Around 20% of sudden cardiac deaths are due to genetic abnormalities.3

5%

5% of patients are hospitalised for adverse drug reactions.4

86%

86% of people are asymptomatic carriers of a monogenic disease that can be transmitted to their offspring if the partner is a carrier of the same disease.5

6%

6% of the population has an increased risk of hereditary thrombosis.6

Genome Life is a new subscription service designed to get even more out of your myGenome analysis, offering two service options: Genome Life and Genome Life Premium. These options allow you to receive updates with the latest advances in genetics (provided there is sufficient scientific evidence following Veritas quality standards), or to reanalyse your genome in a targeted analysis as an additional tool for managing any possible new personal or family medical circumstances, among other benefits.

READ MORE ABOUT GENOME LIFE

  • Genome sequencing with Illumina Nova Seq 6000 platform with an average depth of 30X (gold standard for genome sequencing).
  • Analytic sensitivity is 99% for SNVs* and 97.6% for small insertions/deletions (6 bases).
  • Analysis and variant classification based on internal and external databases (ClinVar and HGMD**).
  • Variant curation performed by our dedicated expert team with proprietary software developed for detailed variant classification.

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.

What does the report include?

We provide a comprehensive report with the following sections:

  • Clinical outcomes.
    Interpretation of 566 genes related to more than 650 conditions that may have a major impact on the patient’s health.
  • Carrier status.
    Analysis of more than 200 conditions for which the patient may be an asymptomatic carrier.
  • Multifactorial diseases.
    Complex pathologies that depend on genes and environment.
  • Pharmacogenomics.
    Study 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 ancestors.

Frequently asked questions about myGenome?

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.

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.

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.

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.
