Duke Executive Health provides its clients personalized genomic testing services that will help you to understand your DNA and use this knowledge with your physician to plan for a healthier future.

Using a genome-wide scan, we are able to provide a detailed analysis of your DNA to give you important insight into your genetic predisposition to a variety of health conditions.  Following the sequencing of the human genome, large association studies are finding new linkages between genetic markers and risks of complex diseases and conditions.  This information is compiled into a comprehensive report that allows you to understand your results and work with your Duke Executive Health physician to reduce your risk – and focus your health efforts on what matters most. Your Duke Executive Health physician and genetic counselor will help you understand your results and discuss how to integrate this information into your life.

Empower your health! Incorporate an assessment of genetic and genomic risk factors into your strategic health plan.

Do certain diseases run in the family? Are multiple health concerns actually related? Am I at increased risk? Frequently, the first step to learning about your underlying genetic health risks is to examine your family health history.

 

Family health history is the most powerful medical tool for identifying individuals at risk for complex diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and others. Within families, relatives share similar environmental and genetic backgrounds. As a result, family health history reflects the combination of both genetic and environmental factors on risks for disease. Using up-to-date genetic association research, certified genetic counselors will provide detailed review and personalized genetic risk assessment based upon your family history. You receive an extensive report on the conditions in your family and how they may affect your health reviewed in a one-on-one consultation with the genetic counselor.

 

This service is provided by the Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP) at Duke utilizing innovative technology and expert assessment to help inform you of genetic factors important to your health. 

 

The Familial Genetic Risk Assessment package is priced at $225.
