Genetic SNP Testing
by Nordic Laboratories
Genetic SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) testing looks at small variations in your DNA that can influence how your body processes nutrients, hormones, and toxins. Understanding these patterns can help create personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategies to support your long-term health. The test reports are detailed and are self explanatory but we do offer an optional interpretation 30-minute virtual lab review.
The genetic testing kit will be mailed to your address. Once you collected the cheek swab, you will mail the sample back to the lab for processing. Prepaid shipping label is included.
The DNA Core is the most comprehensive DNA test offered. Covers areas of DNA Health and more.
Covers the following areas:
-
Key biological processes that impact health and risk for disease including lipid metabolism, methylation, detoxification, inflammation and oxidative stress, insulin sensitivity, and bone health
-
Macro and micro-nutrient requirements based on genetic responsiveness, as well as risks for food sensitivities (caffeine and salt) and intolerances (gluten and lactose)
-
Weight management insights such as genetic obesity risk, snacking and eating behaviour, and circadian rhythms
-
Exercise responsiveness including exercise requirements for mobilisation of fat stores, power and endurance potential, cramping and injury risk, and recovery time
The DNA Health analyzes over 35 genes involved in key metabolic processes:
-
Lipid metabolism
-
Methylation
-
Detoxification
-
Oxidative stress
-
Inflammation
-
Insulin resistance
-
Bone health
-
Iron metabolism
-
Food responsiveness, including salt, alcohol & Caffeine sensitivity, bitter taste, lactose & gluten intolerance
-
Vitamin metabolism
The report provides the level of impact of any genetic variants identified
-
An explanation of their impact on health
-
Appropriate nutritional and lifestyle recommendations
The results are divided in sections of key metabolic function, so that genetic weaknesses and strengths within a functional area can be easily identified.
DNA Mind reports on variants in 30 genes involved in key biological pathways, from serotonin and dopamine to inflammation and methylation, that have been shown to have significant associations with mental health, and provides personalised diet, lifestyle and nutraceutical recommendations as well as valuable ‘diagnostic insights’.
The report provides
-
Identification of the level of impact of any genetic variants
-
An explanation of their impact on the specific biochemical area
-
An explanation of each area’s impact on mental health.
Assessment of 30 genes involved in:
-
Neurodegenerative disorders
-
Mood disorders
-
Addictive behaviour
DNA Resilience is a genetic test targeted at individuals who want to:
-
Lead more effectively
-
Cope better under stressful and demanding conditions
-
Enhance their mental, emotional and physical health
-
Live up to their fullest potential
DNA Resilience offers insight into the seven molecular areas of resilience in order to help identify strengths and hurdles, as well as recommending personalised interventions which can help you to improve your resilience outcomes and health performance:
-
Neuropeptide Y
-
Oxytocin
-
Brain derived neurotrophic factor
-
Stress axis
-
Norepinephrine
-
Dopamine
-
Serotonin
The DNA Hormones test analyses and reports on gene variants that have been shown to have an impact on sex steroid metabolism and biotransformation, affecting male and female health.
The test should be considered for those who are suffering from, or have a family history of, any hormone related disorder or experiencing symptoms that might be related to imbalanced hormone metabolism.
Assessment of 21 genetic variants involved in:
-
Steroidogenesis – Androgen, progestogen and estrogen metabolism
-
Binding and transport
-
Phase I and phase II detoxification
-
Clotting risk
The report provides the identification and targeted treatment of hormonal imbalances using personalised interventions, based on the patients’ genetic information
DNA Skin analyses genes involved in biological areas that influence skin health. DNA Skin was developed to provide insight into the genetic contribution of important biological areas involved in maintaining the health of the skin, thus allowing for a more targeted approach to skincare.
The report provides the level of impact of any genetic variants identified and an explanation of their impact on skin health
From the information your DNA Skin test reveals, personalised lifestyle, nutrition, nutraceutical and cosmeceutical recommendations can be given for improved skincare and to decrease the visible signs of aging.
Assessment of
18 genes associated with the following key areas involved in skin health and aging:
-
Collagen formation; protection from SUN & UV exposure
-
Inflammation
-
Protection from oxidative stress.
