DNA ANALYSIS SERVICES IN TAMPA
This is the future of precision medicine. DNA analysis through a saliva specimen, commonly known as saliva DNA testing, is a non-invasive and straightforward method used to obtain genetic information. Saliva contains cells from the inner lining of the mouth, which naturally carry a person’s DNA. In DNA analysis, a small sample of saliva is collected using a specialized kit provided by the testing company. The individual simply spits into a tube, seals it, and sends it back for analysis.
Once received, the laboratory extracts the DNA from the saliva sample and analyzes it to provide various insights, such as your risk for thousands of known diseases; a personalized diet, vitamin, exercise, and lifestyle suggestions predicted to improve your health; optimized medication selection and dosing (pharmacogenomics); unique aspects about your body you may not have fully appreciated; traits in your DNA you don’t exhibit but which may affect your children; and your ancestry. (see additional information below for more details).
Most DNA companies only test certain portions of an individuals DNA. Our partner analyzes the full lengths of all 22,000 genes using technology called whole exome sequencing. Other commonly test which will not be named only look at the DNA in just a few places. Our partner then takes your DNA and uses its proprietary computer algorithms to cross-reference each of your DNA mutations to hundreds of thousands of scientific research papers to determine their impact on your health which is being CONSTANTLY UPDATED every two weeks. So you can log into the portal / account which will be provided to you to see any new information which has surfaced regarding your make-up.
DNA analysis can provide valuable insights into a person’s health risks by examining their genetic makeup for certain variations associated with various health conditions. Some of the health risks that DNA analysis can reveal include:
It’s important to note that while DNA analysis can identify genetic predispositions and potential health risks, it doesn’t provide a definitive prediction of future health outcomes. Environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and other non-genetic factors also play significant roles in determining overall health. Therefore, genetic information obtained from DNA analysis should be interpreted in conjunction with comprehensive medical evaluation and counseling by healthcare professionals.
