Predictive Genomics is the area of medicine that deals with the detection of specific “chang-es” in DNA called mutations. These mutations determine desirable or undesirable traits and have been associated with risk for common polygenic multifactorial diseases.

Disease depends not only on the genetic fac-tors but also on environmental influences as well as the lifestyle of the individual. In the era of Preventive Medicine, knowledge of our ge-netic profile is an absolute necessity for achiev-ing and maintaining optimal health. To avoid and manage disease, the insight obtained from DNA genetic screening is vital for imple-menting preventive measures and perform-ing appropriate corrective actions. The genetic recommendations will provide longevity and improved life quality.

Genetic Screening based on Preventive and Personalized Management of Diseases

Discover your Genes and Stay Healthy !

Personalized Medical Care

according to your Genes

Do i need to be aware of my genetic profile to maintain my health?

There are multiple interactions between our genes and our health. The medical advice

based on the genetic profile is personal-ized regarding the corrective actions and

the regular attendance at the doctor for screening. However, for an individual that is not as health conscious, the genetic information provided may not have the same value as it would to an advocate on

the belief that prevention is better than cure.

The Genetic Screening for Medical Care provides the basis for establishing

a path for improved long-term health and quality of life.

Predictive Medicine is based on early detection of the risk

for several human illnesses. Based on the Genetic Profile,

appropriate pharmacological, nutritional, environmental

guidelines and lifestyle choices are recommended. These

guidelines are individualized, personalized and more spe-

cific than the universal recommendations applicable to the

general population.

New Genomed biotechnology offers genetic screening

analyzing genes and mutations with strong associations to

the various biological systems investigated, all of which are

documented in the medical and scientific bibliography.

Genes Analyzed

Sampling process and turnaround time

DNA sampling is painless and does not require blood. It involves taking cells from the inside of the cheek with a specialized and sterilized buccal swab. The procedure lasts no more than a minute. Results are usually available within 15 working days. The confidential nature of personal data is strictly respected.

Predictive Medicine is based on early detection of the risk for several human illnesses. Based on the Genetic Pro� le, appropriate pharmacological, nutritional, environmental guidelines and lifestyle choices are recommended. These guidelines are individualized, personalized and more speci� cthan the universal recommendations applicable to the general population.

GENOMED in collaboration with the Central Laboratory Re-search Diagnostics, (ISO 17025 certi� ed, spin-o� company of the University of Athens, Scienti� c Director Nikolaos Dra-koulis, MD, PhD), developed Predictive Genomic Services in Greece and Internationally. This collaboration o� ers the high-est standards in methodology as well as professional counsel-ling in connection to multifactorial disease development.
