DNAwise Genetic Test
Our scientific team includes experts with years of experience in the field of Genetics and Genomics. They use high quality scientific research data to decode your genetic information and turn them into meaningful health and wellness recommendations.
Your saliva sample is processed at the lab to extract DNA. Quality of DNA is checked following standard Good Lab Practices.
Once the DNA sample pass the quality check, your DNA is genotyped using SNP array technology in the lab following international guidelines.
Your genotyping data is extensively analyzed using robust bioinformatics pipeline and statistical measures.
Your genetic testing report is generated based on the analysed genotyping data and converted into an easy to understand PDF report.
DNAwise can provide information about your genetic tendencies and give personalized recommendations which will empower you to achieve good health and lifelong wellness. DNAwise can help to:
Know your risk for cardiac conditions like Coronary Artery Disease
Prevent lifestyle diseases like Type 2 Diabetes
Optimize your diet and reach your weight goals
Understand your Vitamins and Minerals requirements

DNAwise genetic test reports about your genetic risk for various health conditions which affects different organ systems of your body. It also reports your genetic tendencies for nutrition, fitness and habit related parameters.
DNAwise report covers 80 parameters in 4 sections – Health, Nutrition, Fitness and Habits. It provides you with your genetic information which is important for making right health and wellness choices. Your DNAwise report will help you discover what health condition you have a high risk for so that you can take timely actions for prevention and early detection of these health conditions. It will also help you understand what diet and exercises are best for you, find out which nutrients you may be deficient in, and learn about your appetite and food sensitivities. DNAwise report will highlight your tendencies for various habits so that you can alert yourself and take proper measures to avoid any type of addiction.
DNAwise genetic testing involves collection of saliva or blood sample (in some cases) followed by extraction of DNA from these samples. SNP genotyping is then done using microarray technology to understand your genetic make-up at various genetic markers known to be associated with the parameters in DNAwise test. This genotyping data is then used to generate the DNAwise Genetic Test Report using standard bioinformatics pipeline.
Saliva collection process involves collection of your spit sample in a specific buffer solution present in the tube supplied with the Saliva Sample Kit.
Genetic counseling is a process wherein beneficiaries of DNAwise are explained their genetic test report and advised on further plan of action.
You will be sent a PDF copy of your genetic testing report at your email addresses registered with us.
DNAwise reports your genetic test results based on your genotype at various genetic markers (SNPs) as per the latest scientific knowledge. The risk scores and results are unlikely to change when the test is repeated with the same markers and technology platform used in this test. However, genetics is an evolving field and as genetics research progresses, more and more gene-disease associations (genetic markers) are discovered. Also, the technology for genetic testing is ever improving. The test results and interpretation may or may not change when newly found genetic variants or upgraded technology is used in a more advanced genetic test. Saliva sample collection is mostly one-time for DNAwise. However, various reports can be generated based on the research. Also if diagnosed with some clinical conditions then more specific diagnostic/ clinical tests may be required as directed by the doctor.
Any health condition is a result of your genetics and lifestyle factors which includes your diet and physical activity levels. DNAwise informs you about your response to various types of diet and exercises which may help you to personalize your diet and exercise regimen that will help you to manage existing health conditions. For example, DNAwise reports your insulin sensitivity with exercise which may help you to manage Type 2 Diabetes.
DNAwise report gives you a personalized recommendation about your diet and fitness plan based on your genetic tendencies. Also, a summary report will be provided after genetic counseling call taking into account your genetics report and personal health history with more actionable points. In addition to it, food sources of various nutrients are also provided in the report. However, a daily, weekly or annual diet and fitness plan is not provided with the DNAwise product.
