Hyderabad, March 03, 2023: Genomic tests used to be expensive, leaving many people without access to the potentially life-changing health insights that it can provide. MapMyGenome, a leading preventive genomics company, has been changing the healthcare scenario with its affordable preventive genomic tests at half the price of other similar tests on the market.
About a decade ago, Mapmygenome began its pioneering quest to create an affordable, personalised genomic solution called Genomepatri. MapMyGenome’s flagship product Genomepatri covers more than 100 health conditions related to cancer, cardiology, neurology, pharmacogenomics, nutrition, fitness, sleep, and many more at Rs.6999. Genomepatri also provides free genetic counseling from Board Certified genetic counselors with actionable recommendations.
“ Instead of consumers and patients going to centers, we made genomics simple, accessible and affordable. We call this #HarGharDNA. We are excited to create products that allow consumers not just to live healthier and longer lives but also look and feel beautiful and fit”
-Anu Acharya, MapMyGenome Founder & CEO
The price point of Rs.6999 for MapMyGenome’s preventive genomic tests assumes significance as Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries is planning to foray into the genomics market with Rs 12,000 test kits.
MapMyGenome’s preventive genomic tests cover a range of areas including ancestry, disease predisposition, carrier status, inherited genetic disorders, heart health, skin and hair care, and fitness. Now MapMyGenome plans to roll out more preventive genomics tests that cover important aspects of health such as skin and hair care, heart health, gut health, and many more.
Additionally, the tests are done using the latest genomic sequencing technologies, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
Last year, the company launched its pharmacogenomics solution MedicaMap, that provides a user-friendly report on an individual’s body response to 165+ US FDA-approved commonly prescribed medicines.
