What are genetic tests used for, and what types are there?
Genetic testing is a type of medical test used to identify changes in genes through DNA analysis. It is a very valuable tool for prevention as well as for the personalization of treatments and diagnosis, among many other functions. There are different types of genetic tests that can be classified into [...]
The Best DNA Test
What is a DNA Test and how does it work? DNA tests have become an essential tool to know our roots, our predisposition to certain diseases and to receive personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations. In this article, we compare the best DNA tests available on the market. [...]
Health and Genetics. Get ahead of the future now.
As you already know, DNA influences many aspects of our body, including health. At ADNTRO we analyze thousands of markers for more than 100 diseases belonging to different body systems or devices.
What are SNPs?
These point variations are changes in a nucleotide (one of the four types that make up DNA: A, T, C and G). These variations in a single nucleotide are what we call SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) or polymorphisms.
How do we genotype your sample? This is a Global Screening Array
At ANDTRO, the first step to begin your journey through your DNA is to take a saliva sample that we send to Eurofins Lab in Denmark for analysis. The laboratory, one of the largest genotyping centers in Europe, analyzes the sample and offers us the data that we process in ADNTRO to be able to offer you all the content that you will see in the demo of our website.
Covid-19. Genetic resistance to the virus
You will undoubtedly already know that the SARS-coV-2 coronavirus, which causes the Covid-19 disease, has been a before and after for the recent history of humanity. Hundreds of thousands of people have died worldwide from this pathogen that has represented the largest global health emergency to date. However, surely you also know cases of people who have tested positive for Covid-19 and have barely had a slight cold or have not even had a single symptom. How is this possible? Why is it so lethal for some and for others just a cold?
Genetic predisposition. Am I sentenced by my DNA?
Thanks to the study of your DNA that we do in ADNTRO, you will be able to know what type of foods are best for you, for which diseases you have a high genetic predisposition or if your muscles recover after exercising more or less quickly than the population average. But how should I take these results? Does this mean that I am sentenced by my own genetics?
The universal man
A story about genetic variations in the population. The title gives its name to an idea developed by ADNTRO and which has two important objectives; firstly to help you to know how different your genotype is from the population average (in this case using 1000 genotypes to compare - with a [...]
