If a predisposition to disease or disorder is discovered in my CyGene DNA analysis, how do I reduce genetic risk factors?
CyGene DNA Testing Reduces Genetic Risk Factors

Acting on your test results can be as simple as changing your diet, increasing your exercise or visiting your doctor for information on possible treatment plans to reduce other contributing risk factors. The CyGene DNA analysis reports your individual genetic profile results for the test panel you selected. It provides you with vital information about your DNA that can be used by you, and your health care provider, to make important decisions about your health.

The report comes in an easy to read and understand format. The first part of the report displays your personal DNA tests results, including which genes were tested and the date the results were published. There is an interpretation of the results to help you understand if any of the genes tested have an impact on the application area (the test panel you ordered) being studied and this is followed up by useful information and recommendations based on your results.

We include helpful links to other knowledge databases and resources, many of which can be found online, to help you determine your next course of action. You may want to share your results with your primary healthcare provider to develop a treatment plan based on your personalized genetics report. You may even be encouraged to work with a genetic counselor or trained professional to monitor your ongoing progress in meeting your healthcare goals.

The most important thing to remember when reviewing your results is that a predisposition to a particular disease does not mean you will definitely come down with that disease. Many of the most serious conditions identified through the CyGene personal DNA analysis are preventable or easily treated if caught early and think how fortunate you will be to know in advance that preventative intervention is prudent in your case. By making the personal changes identified in your genetic testing report, you will be improving nutrition, diet, exercise and other factors that are optimal to reducing your overall genetic risk factors and improving your future based on your results!
