Why do we need Genetic testing?
Genetic testing provides information related to the potential risks we may have for developing specific types of diseases including birth defects, cancers, monogenic disorders and more using the new most advanced technologies to look after your health.
At Genalive, we divide our Clinical Genetic Testing into 4 categories:
Reproductive Genetics
Every year an estimated 7.9 million children—6 percent of total births worldwide—are born with a serious congenital condition of genetic or partially genetic origin. Experience shows that the prevention of congenital conditions is feasible and can be cost-effective.
Genetic testing uses specific tests to characterize the genetic status of an individual who is suspected to be at increased risk for an inherited condition. Genetic screening can predict the risk of congenital conditions (chromosomal abnormalities and single gene conditions) in a child.
GERMLINE (HEREDITARY) GENETICS
The Power of Knowing
Every day patients present to their doctors with symptoms that may be unexplainable. Genetic testing can now determine if there is a genetic cause for the symptoms and allow healthcare providers to treat patients more effectively.
Every day couples are planning to start a family but fear the unknown of whether or not they are carriers of a genetic disease.
Oncology (Cancer) Genetics
Oncology genetic testing has paved the way for precision medicine by providing personalized information based on the unique biology of every cancer, and by enabling confident, individualized treatment decisions. Powered by the portfolio of BGI SENTIS™ tests, Genalive applies advanced molecular profiling to:
Prevent cancer risk with effective measurements.
Identify cancers at an early stage.
Optimize cancer treatment decisions.
Genetic Services
Genetic testing is much more than the tools and techniques to produce results. It is an end-to-end professional activity that includes:
A robust Bioinformatics Program with its own state of the art data center.
Genetic counseling for patients and their families.
Genetic consultation supporting healthcare providers.
Research support enabling the growing field of genetics.
