Sugar Gene™ is a genomic test that gives the genomic predisposition to type 2 diabetes, associated risk factors and diet patterns that suit YOU. Modify your lifestyle today, with the help of genomic counseling following this test, and mitigate your risks! Lead a happier, healthier life.
Diabetes is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide.
India has second highest number of diabetics .
422 million people has diabetics worldwide.
1.5 million deaths are directly attributed to diabetes each year.
Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation.
Diabetes is a chronic disease which results in high blood sugar levels. Insulin moves sugar from the blood into the cells to be stored or used for energy. In diabetic people, the body doesn't produce the insulin or the body cannot effectively use the produced insulin. The high blood sugar levels can damage eyes, kidneys, nerves and other organs. The major causes of diabetes are obesity and an inactive lifestyle.
Sugargene
Sugagene is a comprehensive genomic assessment of diabetes and associated conditions, based on DNA analysis and interpretation. From Type 2 diabetes risk toDiet pattern, BMI to Triglyceride levels, Sugargene helps to understand the genetic predisposition to multiple factors.

How do we analyse?
Polygenic Risk Score
This report is generated based on Polygenic Risk Score(PRS). A polygenic risk score (PRS) estimates an individual’s genetic risk(predisposition) for a trait or condition. PRS takes the sum(aggregate) of all known common variants to calculate an overall genetic risk for a particular condition.
How it Works?
Sample Collection
Collect your sample, & make sure the cap is securely fastened. Reach out to us, & we will have kit collected from you.
Lab Processing
Once your DNA process our QC, it is then subjected to a variety of tests to ensure that your DNA is ready to be read!
Data Analysis
Your DNA has been read! The genetic sequence thus obtained is now subjected to intensive analysis.
With the knowledge about different parameters which influence diabetes one can manage diabetes effectively.
2. What is the sample type?
Saliva sample.
3. Will I get Diabetes if I get high risk in this test?
The Occurrence of a disease not only depends on genetics, environment and lifestyle but also plays a crucial part in the occurrence of disease. So, if anyone get high risk for diabetes does not mean for sure they will get with diabetes.
4. Will you help me in understanding the report?
Yes, once the customer receives the report the Mapmygenome team confirms the suitable timing where the genetic report is clearly explained by the genetic counselor and makes the customer understand the genetic risks and also provides the recommendations.
5. How do you analyze?
The report is based on the polygenic risk score model. After genotyping the raw DNA data is feeded to the inhouse patented algorithm SNaPpy which provides the risk for different conditions.
6. Will this test tell my sugar levels?
No, this test will not provide any details about the current/future sugar levels. But we also do blood tests for current sugar levels.
