ANSWERS:
What will I get from a DNA
test with regard to the condition of my skin?
The results obtained by the
DNA test; will provide us the skin’s current
biological and physiological condition: skin
quality, skin ageing, the condition of the Collagen
in the skin and the Collagen-forming ability, the
condition of the Elastin in the skin and the
Elastin-forming ability, the skin’s state of
moisture, the state of the skin due to the
environmental aggression & pollution, malignant
mutations, particular sensitivities, oxidation and
free radicals, inflammatory tendencies, the
formation state of the dermal tissues, the tissues
formation ability, etc., etc. Accordingly,
recommendations will be given in regarding which
products to use for immediate improvement and
restoration of the skin’s biological and
physiological condition.
What is special about
the
DNA line of cosmetics products?
This unique line was
scientifically developed in accordance with the
action of the genes on the function of the skin, and
was scientifically adapted to the role of each and
every gene. See YOUR DERMA GENES, which
includes a table of specific matches between the DNA
cosmetics products and genes found to have defective
function. According to the results obtained, we will
certainly be able to provide the appropriate
cosmetics products.
Is it
worthwhile to purchase the DNA cosmetics without
testing, and still benefit from its advantages?
Yes, definitely. The quality of this cosmetics line
is much higher than that of other lines of skin care
and anti-ageing products on the market. The DNA
cosmetics line is made purely of the best active
ingredients your skin requires. Our active
ingredients are produced by the famous Swiss company
"Pentapharm", which is the leading company for
active ingredients. Using these products as your
daily cosmetics will show excellent results even for
skin that has never been tested. The skin will be
restored, become healthier and show rapid metabolism
and rejuvenating of cells, and result in strong,
flexible and fresh skin.
You can order the products on-line, and if you would
like us to assist you; please fill our
ONLINE
QUESTIONER and our in-house dermatologist will
recommend the best suitable product/s for you.
I want to test my
DNA; how is sampling done?
* DNA
sampling is easy; painless and does not require
blood. We will send you our test kit and after
performing the sampling you will send it back to us
for analysis.
Instructions for sampling:
* It
involves taking cells from the inside of your cheeks
with specialized and sterilized buccal swabs-one
swab for each cheek.-The DNA from these cells will
be at the laboratory. extracted and analyzed
* It is
advisable that if you had anything to eat or drink
within the last hour before swabbing [including
coffee or tea] you should wash your mouth first by
swirling water in your mouth and spitting it out two
or three times. This assures washing away any
existing food particles as well as coffee or tea
that sometimes interferes with the required DNA
amplification for genotyping.
* What is
really needed from you is an actual
scraping-swabbing of the inside of the cheek:
Move the stylus back and
forth, up and down and by rotating it alternatively
clockwise and counter-clockwise for at least 30
seconds. The process should be repeated in the other
cheek
* Caution
is required because the shaft of the swab is not
always rigid and can easily bend the cotton tip. In
this case it might lose the contact with the
epithelium might be and swabbing would be done
incorrectly.
* To assure
contact of the cotton tip with the epithelium you
can put your finger on the outside of cheek, feel
the cotton tip through the skin and apply pressure
to it, while swabbing.

Is there a date beyond
which the saliva in the swabs I sent can no longer
be used?
There is no need to hurry or
to worry. Your cells in the saliva, even in a dry
state, remain usable for very long time.
Does my DNA change?
If so,
how often should I perform the test?
Your DNA is an inseparable
part of yourself, and it never changes. If you
perform the test at age 18 and again at age 78, you
will get the same result. However, if we manage over
that time to decode a significantly larger number of
genes than we have done so far, then we will
definitely recommend performing an additional test.
How reliable is the result
of the test?
As they say, “DNA doesn’t
lie”. The DNA chain in your body is your personal
essence, and every gene has a role. The test is
completely accurate, and will diagnose any defective
function of a specific gene tested at your request.
What is the difference
between blood tests done for me by the general
healthcare services and a DNA test, in terms of
reliability and accuracy?
Currently, the blood tests
performed by the general healthcare services do not
include the issues that we test.
A blood test is a variable
thing, and therefore so are the results. The
condition of the blood sent for testing depends on
many factors, such as: stress, what you drank before
the test, what you ate during the past week, how
long you fasted before the test, how much sugar you
consumed during the past week, etc., etc. It is
almost certain that every month, you will obtain a
different result from the previous month because of
all the variable factors. In contrast to this, DNA
always yields the same result, and does not depend
on any factor other than your genes, which do not
change and never will change.
How long does the testing
take, and when do I receive the result?
The test takes approximately
72 hours. Taking into account the postal delivery
time and the waiting time for the laboratory test,
the result will be conveyed in three to four weeks.
How will I receive the test
result?
We will report the results to
you as per your instructions – by e-mail, registered
mail or fax.
How is information about me
kept?
Your name and details are kept
in one database only, secured with the best
technology. From the moment of your registration,
your name and details receive a code number. From
that moment on, the entire chain of tests performed
and the transfer of your file from one department to
the next is only by the code that you received. No
company employee knows your name or your personal
details. You will receive your personal code number
from us. The result that you receive will also bear
your code number, not your name. See our
PRIVACY
POLICY.
What advantage do
you have over other companies?
After 5 years of research, we
hold the largest database of decoded genes in the
world – over 190, whereas other companies do not
even have 50 decoded genes. This achievement enables
us to perform more comprehensive and more accurate
tests. As a result, the test results are accurate
and reliable.
What makes us different?
Although more than 99% of
human DNA is identical among all people, it is the
remaining fraction of 1% that makes us each unique.
These tiny differences in DNA from person to person
are known scientifically as ‘mutations.’ They build
our physical identity and define together with the
environmental factors our individuality.
DNA: does it shape our
lives?
All human
characteristics - from the colour of our hair and
even our personality to our physical condition and
vulnerability to disease – are to a significant
degree defined by the genetic information hidden in
our DNA! Genes which are particular segments
of the DNA - control traits, characteristics and
overall health.
What is the meaning:
Predictive Genomics?
Predictive Genomics is the
field of medicine that deals with the detection of
specific mutations in the DNA, which are associated
with certain traits, characteristics or common
polygenic – multifactorial diseases.
Personalized ↔ Predictive ↔
Preventive ↔ Participatory
Which are the benefits from
Predictive Genomics testing?
The ultimate purpose of
Predictive Genomics is to pave the way for the
appropriate early, and as much as possible
individualized and personalized actions in order to
-
Prevention – Risk
Reduction
-
Timely, targeted,
customized medical, pharmacological,
nutritional & environmental intervention
How the genes to be tested
are selected?
Gene mutations are - to
every extent possible - specifically selected to
fulfill the following criteria:
Relevant: The mutation
exerts direct influence over the biological system
of interest and directly relates to traits, symptom
clusters, or disease. The biological effect of the
mutation is clearly documented in the scientific
literature.
Prevalent: The mutation
is relatively common in the general population.
These DNA changes are also known as
polymorphisms, representing the gene variants
(alternative forms of the genes). Every attempt has
been made to exclude mutations with less than 1%
population frequency.
Modifiable: The effect
of the mutation can - to a significant degree - be
modifiable by appliance of the appropriate measures
and corrective actions. These could be Medical,
Pharmaceutical, Nutritional, Environmental,
Life-Style, Training guidelines.
Measurable: The impact
of corrective actions that can modify the effects of
the mutations is measurable -with the passing of
time after applied - by laboratory assays when
possible.
What types of tests can I
perform and how much does it cost?
The cost of each test is 350
Euros. Only if you choose to perform all four of
them you will receive a significant discount; and
the all the 4 tests will cost you 770 Euros.
