By
harnessing the ingenuity of new breakthroughs in genomic science with
the power of preventive biomedicine, Genovations™ offers an
innovative, advanced health care model for more effectively preventing
and treating chronic disease.
Our predictive genomic profiles assess genetic variations in each person
that, when combined with modifiable factors in the environment, may
increase disease risk. This empowers physicians and patients to realize:
 | Earlier,
more effective preventive interventions-years before disease
develops
| Precise,
customized therapies that truly address each individual's needs
| Improved
clinical insight into patients with treatment-resistant
"chronic" conditions |

Genovations™
Profiles Available:
| CardioGenomic™Profil
Identifies genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms associated
with increased risk of developing atherosclerosis, hypertension, and
coronary artery disease. Risk factors include methylation defects,
hyper-coagulation syndromes, cholesterol regulation defects,
inflammation, general risk markers and cardio-protective markers. |
| OsteoGenomic™Profile
Identifies genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms associated
with increased risk of developing osteopenia and osteoporosis. Risk
factors include collagen synthesis, calcium metabolism, vitamin D3
activity, parathyroid hormone action, osteoclastic activity, and
chronic inflammation. |
| DetoxiGenomic™ Profile
Coming Summer 2002
Identifies genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms
associated with increased risk of developing detoxification defects
especially with increased exposure to xenobiotics and other toxins.
Risk factors include altered cytochrome P-450 activity in phase 1
detoxification, impaired glutathione conjugation and acetylation in
phase 2 reactions, altered catecholamine methylation and increased
oxidative stress. Detoxification defects have been associated with
increased risk for certain cancers, chronic fatigue, multiple
chemical sensitivity, and alcoholism. |
| ImmunoGenomic™Profile
Identifies genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with
increased risk of developing defects in immune competence and
surveillance. Risk factors include altered interleukin production
and activity within the body and increased production of other
cytokines like tissue necrosis factor alpha that may lead to
conditions characterized by chronically up-regulated inflammatory
response. Immunologic polymorphisms have been associated with
increased risk of asthma, atopy, osteopenia, heart disease, and
infectious diseases. |
