Chequeo Genético Pauta

WHAT IS A GENETIC CHECK-UP?

It is a health assessment that predicts lifestyle-related diseases by using the patient’s genetic information to identify risks before symptoms appear. This enables the design of personalized prevention strategies by analyzing genetic variants associated with oncological and cardiovascular diseases.

HOW CAN A GENETIC CHECK-UP HELP THE PATIENT?

Diagnose diseases and select the most appropriate treatment.

Validate genetic causes of a condition.

Genetically identify factors that increase disease risk.

Identify genetic factors that may be passed on to offspring.

TWO IDEAL APPROACHES

In our genetic check-up

We have designed two ideal approaches to anticipate potential health risks:

Exon molecular study

ONCOLOGY MEDICINE (MyCancerRisk PLUS)

Includes molecular studies for the detection of possible cancer:

Pancreatic cancer
Colon cancer
Rectal cancer
Breast cancer
Ovarian cancer
Prostate cancer
Melanoma (skin cancer)

PRECISION MEDICINE (MyCardioDNA PLUS)

Cardiovascular risk or specific genes alterations associated with:

Sudden death
Cardiomyopathies
Ischemic heart disease
Thrombosis

WHAT DOES OUR GENETIC CHECK-UP INCLUDE?

MEDICAL ASSESSMENTS

Geneticist consultation to determine eligibility for genetic testing and internal Medicine consultation.

Imaging studies

Chest X – Ray (PA and Lateral views)
Complete Abdominal Ultrasound
Mammography or Bilateral breast Ultrasound (*depending on the patient’s age)

Clinical laboratory

Endocrinological tests
Coronary risk profile
Liver function tests
Kidney function tests
Hematology profile
Coprogram and fecal occult blood
Prostate-specific antigen

Specialized diagnostic tests

Cardiovascular stress test, including baseline electrocardiogram
PAP test for cervical cancer screen

Two ideal approaches (Cancer and Cardiovascular Risk)

Oncology medicine (MyCancerRisk PLUS)
Precision medicine (MyCardioDNA PLUS)

*The approach for the check-up is determined by the genetic specialist’s assessment, who decides whether to conduct one or both of the studies in a single evaluation.
