Home Testing Kits for Predictive Genetic Test in Middle East

Eastern Biotech & Life Sciences became one of the corporate client entities of DuBiotech in November 2005. Its vision is to promote the health of the people of the United Arab Emirates and the region through the introduction of biotechnological products and systems, and through research into the diseases relevant to this region, especially genetic disorders. Eastern Biotech is providing these home testing kits through Genova Diagnostics, USA. According to Pankaj Sohaney, Manager-Marketing and Business Development, these kits are going to keep people aware of any abnormalities about to happen in order to seek early solutions for curing them. These kits are really important for people of Middle East where life style is changing very fast.

The Human Genome Project has made one of the biggest contributions to the medical diagnosis by revealing an individual’s potential susceptibility to specific diseases and analyzing one’s risk to various diseased conditions. The prediction of various diseases is a quite common thing practiced among the people in Europe and USA. Eastern Biotech & Life Sciences introduces, for the first time in the Middle East, the similar highly accurate gene-based “traffic report” called Genovations™ which can clearly pinpoint health risks which previously would have been hidden out-of-sight “over the horizon”. With this new information, a patient and his physician can chart an alternate route, a smart health “detour”, in order to avoid the health conditions he could encounter.

Genetic profiling uncovers potential genetic susceptibility to various diseases like Gastrointestinal, Immunology, Nutritional, Endocrinology and Metabolic assessments. This highly accurate genetic diagnostic testing called Genovations™ can clearly identify health risks which previously would have been lurking out-of-sight. This can also be termed as "Advanced Risk Reporting" so that we can travel down life's road more relaxed, and more confident of better health. None of us are perfect and neither are our genes. Within your genetic makeup, there are slight “variations” called Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (commonly called SNPs, pronounced “snips”). Although they don’t cause disease, SNPs are associated with almost every human disease. The “expression” of one’s genes into an actual disease isn’t inevitable, as many people think. The genomic variations make a person particularly susceptible to a specific type of disease when exposed to certain, often modifiable, factors such as the environment, diet and lifestyle. It isn’t the “fate” of any of your genes (even your SNPs) to express themselves as a disease. It is a combination of both your genes and modifiable environment which are responsible for various diseases which we encounter during our life time. And that’s where Genovations comes to help us. By taking a simple test, it can inform you and your physician of the specific SNPs you have, making it possible to plan a way “around” your potential risk. Since it takes your genes and their “environment” to trigger most disease, you can easily take your personalized “alternate route” to avoid the risks, and enjoy a healthier journey in life.

When conditions “run in families” they often have a genetic component. This test can show what specific genomic factors might pose a potential problem for you. If you learn you have a modifiable genetic variation, your family members can also be tested to see whether they have it. The sooner it’s known, the sooner you and/or they can begin changing course toward a healthier future.

Genetic testing rarely used but effective weapon to prevent disease

Dubai: Breast cancer risks for women in the UAE range from one in ten to one in 500, due to a lack of genetic statistics in the region, according to a geneticist specialising in cancer.

Breast cancer is primarily detected here through breast self-examination, doctor's examination and mammograms.

Some women in the UAE detect their cancer late because they are unaware, too afraid or embarrassed to do the exam. Others who discovered the symptoms have kept quiet out of denial, embarrassment and fear.

According to the US National Cancer Institute, women who have the mutated BRCA 1 or 2 gene are three to seven times more likely to develop breast cancer as well as ovarian cancer, than the general populace. The likelihood of mutation depends on family history and ethnic background.

Dr Sanjida Ahmad, research director at Eastern Biotech, told Gulf News that no statistics were available for Arabs. The Dubai-based company does DNA testing for the cancer gene. "We don't know the genetic risks for Arabs, because they are too afraid to be part of a genetic study," she said.

This means women will have to depend on available statistics, which include a five to ten per cent risk for women with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, a one in 40 chance in women with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry and one in 500 chance in general.

Dr Sanjida said genetic testing could help these women as "mammograms and CT scans are diagnostic tests; they identify breast cancer only after you have developed the lump."

She said with genetic testing, women could catch the disease before it started, putting them on guard for any changes and helping them detect the disease at a very early stage.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime test. But not all doctors here are recommending this test, not like in the West," she added.

Suresh Malhotra (name changed) has always been extremely fond of oily, spicy, fatty foods. When he was young he could get away with it. Now, however, in his mid 30s, he began worrying about his cholesterol level. His health was fine, but he had a sneaking fear he was headed for trouble if he continued his penchant for fatty diet. He wanted to find out if he was susceptible to any heart related disease, before it actually happened. Was there a way? There, apparently, was. Suresh opted for it, learnt he was heading for serious trouble and, in consultation with his family doctor, began taking steps to keep his cholesterol level down.
