When the Spaniards arrived in the Americas at the end of the 15th century, they could not have imagined the number of cultures, languages, territories and architecture available on the continent.

In the 16th century, the viceroyalty of Peru began to take shape. Its speakers called the place where they lived "anti", which means east (where the sun rises).

The toponym Andes comes from the word "anti".. This word belongs to the Quechua language, one of the 420 languages spoken in the South American continent, which became the official language of the Inca empire.

Machu Picchu, one of the Andean "llactas" (villages), is a symbol of the splendor of the Inca empire. It is an architectural and engineering marvel that, thanks to restoration work, is still preserved. In Quechua, Machu Picchu means "old mountain"..

Machu Picchu

Quechua, besides being a language, refers to an Andean ethnic group. There are more than 70 ethnic groups in Peru alone, of which the most numerous are, apart from the aforementioned Quechua, the Aymara, Arawak or Uru.

The latter have long claimed to be direct descendants of the first settlers of the Andes. A research project collected DNA samples from indigenous people and confirmed that the Urus, at least, have a different ancestry from other natives.

The Andes is the longest continental mountain range in the world, stretching some 8,500 kilometers from Venezuela to Chile and Argentina and boasting the highest peaks in the world outside of Asia.

Do you want to know if your DNA has similarities with the regions of the Andes? Are you curious to know more about other ethnicities? Find out with the dna origin test of ADNTRO or by uploading your RAW file. It will not leave you indifferent.

Digestive Medicine

For digestive clinics or physicians. Provides information on the genetic predisposition to develop diseases of the digestive system- such as Chron's, Inflammatory Bowel Disease among many others - as well as intolerances. This supports a possible early diagnosis and prevention. The results of this study are very positive, allowing for more precise and personalized interventions to improve the quality of life of the patients.

Cardio

The applicability and importance of the PRSs in cardio is endorsed by the American Heart Association (AHA). The applicability of PRS is made possible thanks to this tool that helps in the cardiovascular disease prevention: identifying patients with a higher genetic risk of developing conditions such as diabetes, thromboembolism, hypercholesterolemia, and coronary artery disease (CAD), among others, enabling early interventions and preventive measures to improve patients' cardiovascular health.

Biobanks, Pharmacies and CROs

Access and consultation of genetic data relevant to health and pharmacology. Thanks to this tool, it is possible to know the predisposition of patients to suffer adverse effects and what dose adjustments are necessary for more than 150 drugs, thus improving safety, efficacy and treatment personalization. This information is backed by Stanford University and approved by the FDA and gives solutions for biobanks, and research organizations.

Fitness and wellness centers

Genetic analysis allows for the design of personalized training programs that, taking into account genetic characteristics focused on the world of sports, such as muscle fiber types and predisposition to injuries, maximize performance and reduce the risk of injuries. Additionally, by considering genetic factors related to sleep and longevity, recommendations can be offered for a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
