DNA testing at Advanced Longevity provides you with comprehensive insights into your genetic makeup, empowering you to make informed decisions about your health and well-being. By leveraging Whole Genome Sequencing, epigenetics and cutting-edge AI, we unlock valuable information about your biological age, susceptibility to diseases, and response to medications.
DNA is the blueprint information present within every cell of your body. This information directs the production of your cells and circulating proteins, enzymes and hormones, eventually controlling your body’s functions.
DNA testing examines this blueprint information or code which is unique to you.
The full DNA sequence, also known as Whole Genome Sequencing, involves analyzing a person’s entire genetic code, which contains approximately 3 billion base pairs of DNA. This comprehensive approach can provide information about all of a person’s genetic variations, including those that are associated with known genetic disorders as well as those that have not yet been fully characterized. Whole genome sequencing is the most complete type of DNA testing available and can be used to diagnose a wide range of genetic conditions and assess a person’s risk of developing certain diseases.
In contrast, limited DNA testing, such as targeted sequencing or genotyping, focuses on specific genes or regions of the genome that are known to be associated with certain conditions.
Our Whole Genome Sequencing offers the broadest possible insight into your DNA by defining the order of the four chemical building blocks that make up your genetic material—adenine, cytosine, thymine, and guanine. This process allows us to identify both benign and potentially disease-causing mutations, helping you understand your susceptibility to various conditions and guiding your lifestyle decisions.
By analyzing nearly a million locations along your DNA and using AI, we can find correlations to health outcomes and determine your biological age. This information helps you understand how your genetic makeup influences your overall health and well-being.
While the DNA sequence itself remains fixed, our understanding of the role of different traits within that sequence is constantly evolving. Each new scientific discovery adds to our knowledge of the complexities and nuances of the human genome. This means that your genome is a dynamic resource, which can be referenced time and time again as our understanding of genetics deepens.
By staying up-to-date with the latest scientific breakthroughs, we can gain a more complete understanding of how your unique genetic makeup impacts your health and well-being. At the forefront of this cutting-edge field, we strive to provide you with the most comprehensive, accurate genetic information available.
