1、 What is gene?
A gene is a functional fragment in a DNA molecule carrying hereditary effect. Simply put, gene is a basic factor of life. A gene is a DNA fragment generally consisting of the A, T, C & G nucleotides which are arranged in a specific order. Combination of genes is known as genome, involving approx. 25,000 genes and approx. 3 billion base pairs distributed in 23 pairs of chromosome in the nucleus.
Genes decide life, including our health, look and longevity. Genes control and regulate life, being the source, essence and ruler of life. Genes decide existence and death of all lives. Your look, height, weight, complexion color, temperament, intelligence and diseases, all are linked with genes.
2、What is genetic test?
Simply put, genetic test is a test of blood from the subject. During the test, a health test card in hereditary chip is used to test the cellular differentiation in the subject's body for various disease susceptibility genes, tumor susceptibility genes and drug resistance, in order that the subjects can timely understand own genetic information, improve own life environment and lifestyle, and be clear about own life.
Whopping amount of research findings and up-to-date genome plan shows that some people carry genes of certain diseases. When these susceptible people contact some unhealthy factors and environment, they are a few thousand more likely to develop disease than those who do not carry such disease genes. Apparently, understanding own genetic information will mean very important for averting the health risks, warding off diseases, changing unhealthy lifestyle and improving the life quality.
3、What are the benefits of genetic test?
(1)Prevention: To take precautionary actions timely, lifelong health will be expectedWith our product – the hereditary chip health test card, cells in the subject's body will be tested. With the equipment worth RMB hundred millions of yuan, our biological experts test the subjects for tumor, diabetic or other disease susceptibility genes in the bodies, in order that the subjects can timely understand own genetic information, improve their environment and lifestyle, take precautions against development of tumor and relevant diseases, improve their life quality & taste, and enjoy a healthy life.
(2)Health care: To condition the body pointedly according to tailored health solution
According to the results of hereditary chip tests, we have launched a series of products directed at genetic defects, so that each member will gain a perfect physique, and live healthy in any environment.
(3)Health: To start from periodical consultative service
We establish genetic health information cards for the members, and periodically organize authoritative experts to provide consultative service. When necessary, the experts will recommend the members to receive quality and pointed treatment at authoritative hospitals.
4、 What's the content of genetic test?
Currently, our disease susceptibility gene test covers four types of test items. We will launch more test items in the future to better meet the need of the members.
Type A: Factitious chronic urticaria, genital warts, kidney, rheumatic debate membrane disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, vitreoretinal proliferative disease, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colon
Type B: Immunological unresponsiveness to Hepatitis B vaccine, children's acute leukemia, Behcet's disease, condyloma, anterior uveitis, tuberculosis, osteosarcoma, primary hypertension, ankylosing spondylitis, ulcerative conjunctivitis, and chronic urticaria
Type C: Tumor susceptibility genetic test
Type D: Graves disease, chronic myelogenous leukemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, primary hepatitis, Type I diabetes, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada, rheumatoid arthritis, unexplained habitual abortion, chronic glomerulonephritis, steroid-sensitive nephrosis, kidney cancer, joint tuberculosis, immunological unresponsiveness to hepatitis B vaccine, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic hepatitis B, bladder cancer, chronic glomerular uremia, and non-Iga mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.
5、What's the mechanism for hereditary polymorphism chip test?
The hereditary chip technology is a rapid and efficient molecular biological analytic means. The steps: fixation of genetic fragments on a glass carrier in an order, extraction of DNA from the subject's blood sample, gene amplification using synthetic primer, hybridization on fluorescence marked DNA fragments, elution, result scanning, software extraction, and data analysis.
With scientific probe design and tight hybridizing condition control, hereditary chips may be used in test of many types of known genetic sequences, including single base polymorphism (BNP) analysis and qualitative test of the specific target genetic fragments etc., for analysis of the hereditary polymorphism.
6、 What can genetic test tell you?
If you have susceptibility to a certain disease, that means you are genetically more likely to develop this disease compared to average people. You may take specific preventative measures to avoid it, such as change of your lifestyle, avoidance of harmful factors and periodical check.
According to the findings of modern researches, even if one carries a disease susceptibility gene, if it is discovered early and preventative measures are taken against it, it is also possible to delay or avoid development of the disease. Therefore, when you find yourself susceptible to a disease, take care, but do not panic and leave yourself under undue stress.
