Cancer & Chronic Disease Screening Combined Genetic & Environmental Factor

The Big C is often a scary topic to touch on. Studies have shown and proved that early cancer and chronic disease risk detection is the most effective way to take early precautions. At Gnosis we put our best technology to ensure an accurate risk analysis.

Gnosis provides a range of hereditary disease screening using the SNPs Array Test. There is over 99.5% similarity in terms of DNA sequence for all humans. The 0.5% differences mostly result from Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Domestic and international clinical studies have proven that SNPs are closely related to modern chronic diseases (e.g. cancer, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, Alzheimer’s disease or osteoporosis) and immune system regulation-related diseases (e.g. lupus erythematosus).

The concept of “preventive medicine” is to use genetic tests to analyze SNP profiles relating to certain genes to understand potential morbidity risks of congenital physical conditions. We deploy numerous disease-related SNP probes on a microarray slide using patented technology to allow for an all-in-one test of risks for 17 common cancer types and 14 chronic diseases.

What are the risk factors for hereditary cancer?
Hereditary cancer is any cancer caused by an inherited gene mutation. An inherited gene means it is passed from parent to child within a family.

The following factors suggest a possible increased risk for hereditary cancer:
• Family history of cancer. Having 3 or more relatives on the same side of the family with the same or related forms of cancer.
• Cancer at an early age. Having 2 or more relatives diagnosed with cancer at an early age. This factor may differ depending on the type of cancer.
• Multiple cancers. When one relative develops 2 or more types of cancer.
• Rare cancers. Some types of cancer, such as ovarian cancer, adrenocortical cancer, or sarcoma, are linked to inherited genetic mutations.
