FAQ
Imagine your body is like a book, and each page of the book contains instructions (genes) that determine how you grow, look, and function. Genomics is like reading and understanding the entire book to learn about every detail of how your body works and why it is the way it is.
It helps scientists and doctors to uncover the secrets hidden in the pages of your genetic book.
Genomic testing is like looking at your body's instruction manual (DNA) to understand your unique traits and insights into ones genetic make-up.
It can reveal information about potential health risks, ancestry, and personalized responses to medications.
Examples of genomic tests include whole-genome sequencing, targeted gene testing, and ancestry DNA testing.
(1) Sample Collection: You provide a sample containing your DNA, often through a saliva sample, cheek swab, or blood draw.
(2) DNA Extraction: The DNA is extracted from the collected sample in a laboratory.
(3) Sequencing: The DNA is then sequenced, where the order of its building blocks (nucleotides) is determined.
(4) Analysis: The sequenced DNA is analysed to identify variations, mutations, and its relevance to the objective of the test.
(5) Results: The final report provides insights to Doctors about the disease, its effective medications and possible dosage that is unique and tailor-made to that Patient.
Genomics testing facilitates personalized treatment plans by identifying genetic markers, optimizing drug selection, and enabling targeted interventions for improved disease management. This greatly helps Doctor in treating patients more effectively.
Genomic testing is most useful for identifying genetic markers associated with cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, rare genetic conditions, pharmacogenomics, reproductive health, monogenic diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases, facilitating personalized diagnosis, treatment, and risk assessment.
The turnaround time vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of test, the complexity of the analysis, etc. Typically, one can expect results in 3-4 weeks’ time from sample collection.
It's important to check with the specific testing provider for estimated turnaround time for the particular genomic test you are undergoing.
The cost of genomic testing vary depending on the type of test, the laboratory or testing facility chosen.
At GenomicStar, in India, an end-to-end Genomic Testing may cost anywhere between INR 10,000 to INR 20,000.
Genomic testing is not a routine procedure. For diagnostic purposes, it is generally a one-time event unless new health concerns arise.
Similarly, Pharmacogenomic testing, which assesses medication response, may not need frequent repetition unless specified by the Doctor.
Yes, genomic testing is indeed valuable. It offers crucial insights into an individual's genetic composition, allowing for personalized healthcare strategies. From early disease detection and tailored treatment plans to assessing health risks and predicting medication responses. Genomic testing plays a pivotal role in enhancing medical precision and well-being.
The security of genomic data is a paramount concern.
