Our Science
WHAT IS
HelloDNA
A comprehensive genetic screening test covering the most reports and categories of its kind in the region.
It is suited to all types of people from all over the world, but it also contains the largest number of genetic markers especially suited to Asians. The test builds on over 17 years of genetics experience provided by HelloDNA’s science and technology partner.
WE WORK WITH
Malaysian Genomics Resource Centre Berhad (MGRC)
A pioneer in genomics research and genetic screening services for customers worldwide since 2004.
MGRC’s state-of-the-art genetics laboratory is equipped with industry-leading technology, including equipment from US-based Illumina Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of genotyping and sequencing machines used to study human DNA.
THIS EXPLAINS WHY
We Are Capable of Conducting Advanced DNA Testing
With 99.9% analytical accuracy and producing the most comprehensive test reports.
Our team of medical experts is present to provide you with an in-depth consultation that will help you see your health in a new light. A comprehensive DNA screening, explained by medical experts, will allow you to make informed decisions that benefit not only yourself but also your future generations.
HelloDNA is one of the first in Asia Pacific to screen genetic markers associated with increased risk of susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection (the virus that causes COVID-19) and increased risk of severe reaction to infection.
OUR TEAM OF
Scientists Constantly Monitors The Scientific Literature
To make sure the content of HelloDNA stays relevant.
For example, the latest additions to HelloDNA are genetic variations associated with SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Understanding whether these particular genetic variations are in your DNA can provide information on:
1. Increased susceptibility to an infection by the virus.
2. Increased severity of the infection.
Knowing this information may help you to be better prepared in the event of infection.
THIS EXPLAINS WHY
Genetic Screening
Our genes greatly influence our health, wellness, and vitality. About 65% of people have a health problem associated with genetic mutations from birth. Genetic risks also contribute to many common lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease, among many others.
We live in an information age, and your DNA holds a wealth of information about you. The more informed you are, the easier it may be for you to navigate this world full of health risks. To address these genuine risks, HelloDNA would love to embark on a personal journey with you that will help you to make important choices regarding your health.
With a genetic profile, you will be more confident in making important decisions in life, be it about your health (preventive healthcare and intervention), daily life (food and drug sensitivities), or even your children (family planning).
DNA
Detect A Disease Beforehand
Your DNA will tell you whether you carry risks for certain diseases, cancer, or even developmental abnormalities which may affect your future generations. Personalized healthcare can be formulated to mitigate these risks or even prevent the problems from occurring.
LIFE
Start A Family
As you embark on a new chapter of your life, genetic screening may highlight if certain disorders run in your family’s genes.
You can then weigh your options regarding family planning, which can prevent problems and heartache from occurring in the future.
