HOW WILL I RECEIVE THE GENOMEPATRI KIT?
Genomepatri test kit can either be mailed to your postal address or
our technician will deliver the kit and collect the sample from your
home.
HOW IS THE SAMPLE COLLECTED?
Genomepatri’s sample collection kit has a buccal/saliva swab which
is used for collecting a saliva sample. It is very easy to use and the kit comes with printed instructions on how to do the sampling. After you complete the sampling, all you have to do is inform us and we will pick
it up for processing.
WHAT TECHNOLOGY IS USED FOR GENOMEPATRI?
Genomepatri uses a DNA sequencing technology called genotyping which is performed on microarrays.
HOW DO YOU DO THE ANALYSIS?
We screen your genetic data for the presence of “markers” in your DNA
- which are single letter variations - to calculate your lifestyle
disease risk, predisposition to traits, drug response, etc. We have
developed a robust algorithm which is used for analysis, based on
genetic markers present in your DNA sample. These single letter
variations are known as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms or SNPs.
WHEN WILL I GET THE RESULTS?
The results will be ready after 3 weeks and a genetic counselor will
schedule a session to explain the results to you in the language of your choice.
