Family history is not destiny. Genetics allows you to uncover risk factors of preventable disease way ahead of time so that individuals can take preventive action to reduce the risk and lead a worry-free life.
Individuals suffering from type-2 diabetes mellitus have an inability to use the insulin produced in the body. The gene TCF7L2 is strongest known genetic risk factor for type-2 diabetes. According to research, most of Type 2 Diabetes is preventable. Type 2 diabetes is largely due to excess body weight and a sedentary life-style. Hence genetic testing is an excellent way to prevent it from manifesting.
Obesity is the accumulation of excessive fat and has been associated with several conditions. The FTO gene leads the way as a genetic risk marker, with 42% Caucasians, 5% Africans and 21% Asians harbouring the risk variant of FTO. Improper eating habits, lack of physical exercise, excessive screen time, irregular sleeping habits along with your genetic makeup are the most common obesity-promoting factors.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) or simply heart diseases are a group of disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels. CVDs are the number one cause of death globally and more people die from CVDs than from any other cause. The most important behavioural risk factors for CVDs are an unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, tobacco use and excessive alcohol intake. About 85% of the general population carries the variant of the MTHFR that is associated with higher blood homocysteine which is an independent risk factor for CVDs.
Hypertension is a condition in which the blood vessels have a persistently raised blood pressure. Hypertension is often called the “silent killer” since most people with hypertension do not show any symptoms. The ACE gene that encodes the ACE enzyme which plays a role in regulating blood pressure has a risk variant that predisposes its carriers to hypertension. 50% Africans and Caucasians and 40% Asians are said to have the risk allele.
