An effective treatment plan has already been developed for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Unfortunately, only in the early stage of the disease
The most sneaky feature of neurodegenerative diseases is that symptoms only appear when the disease is severely advanced. Symptoms are the result of irreversible degradation processes in the body.
Until now, there has been no way, no tools, no methods that can accurately assess the early risk of developing the disease before symptoms appear, only after the disease has progressed. Genetic testing is about reading, evaluating, and predicting with high accuracy (99.9%) the vast amount of information encoded in our DNA. It requires state-of-the-art laboratory and information technology capable of processing large amounts of data stored in a small biological unit - the cell.
ABOUT THE SAMPLE:
A sample of saliva (scrapings from the inner part of the buccal area) is taken
30 seconds. This is approximately how long it takes to take a sample for this test. This procedure is easy and can be done at home yourself, as all the necessary tools are provided. If you have any doubts about taking the sample yourself, you can get help from specialists at the medical center of your choice
ABOUT THE TEST:
Extended risk assessment - search for 110 targeted genetic mutations;
The search is not only for predisposition to disease but also for overall risk. If present, the test will predict the course of the disease and possible response to future treatment. We help you choose the most effective treatment option based on the results. This will be based on studies carried out by other researchers looking at treatments for Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease
Free consultation with a geneticist
Referral to appropriate specialists if needed
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The test can be carried out not only in Lithuania - sending the sample from anywhere in the world is safe. It is a one-time - once-in-a-lifetime test, as the genetic information is essentially unchanged (unless exposed to highly hazardous environmental conditions - chemical contamination, ionizing radiation, etc.). There are no age restrictions - the test can be performed on infants, children, adolescents, adults, or the elderly.The price is 890 euros (can be paid in installments), which includes all the necessary tools and costs for the test:
All the tools and services required for sample collection and shipment
Laboratory facilities, equipment, reagents, disposables, working in a laboratory that complies with all European Union (ISO, GPDR, etc.) medical standards
Processing, evaluation, and computer analysis of DNA sequencing data in compliance with all requirements for the protection of personal data
Brief and precise report with follow-up recommendations, understandable without a medical background
Free consultation with a licensed geneticist, with onward referral to appropriate specialists (if required)
