Whole genome sequencing decodes nearly 100% of your genetic information, providing the most complete picture of your biology. It goes beyond standard genetic tests to uncover insights that simpler panels (such as epigenetic tests) miss.
Your genome reveals how your body processes nutrients, responds to exercise, and ages. With this knowledge, you can tailor lifestyle, nutrition, and supplements to maximize your life and healthspan.
By identifying genetic predispositions to chronic diseases, cancers, and metabolic conditions, whole genome sequencing empowers you to act early. This proactive approach supports prevention rather than late intervention.
Genetic data allows for highly individualized recommendations on your pre- dispositions, supplementation, therapies, and treatments. This means avoiding one-size-fits-all solutions and focusing on what truly works for you.
Unlike other health assessments, your genome does not change. One whole genome test provides a permanent foundation for ongoing health decisions, now and in the future.
The Essential DNA Test is very simple and only requires you to collect a DNA sample using a buccal mouth swab. Our test kit is delivered to your home and comes with an easy-to-use instructions guide. The process is smooth and hassle-free; check our easy sample collection process instructions in the test kit once you receive it.
Once your sample reaches the laboratory, a team of scientists will process it via Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and analyze your genome (please remember that your data is anonymized so that your information remains private). This powerful technology analyzes all genetic variants in your genome. It can scan thousands of recognized health and disease-associated variants, helping you make the best choices in your day-to-day lifestyle.
The results will give you insights into hundreds of hereditary traits that fuel your everyday physical and mental health. The report also covers a section on how your body reacts to medication. The detailed and personalized report with helpful recommendations will be delivered to you in 4-6 weeks.
Essential DNA Test is a DNA-based analysis which investigates your genetic profile. It assesses a number of genetic variations in ‘multifactorial’ health traits to identify your predisposition to developing these conditions. This test uses state-of-the-art Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) to analyze your inherited DNA and scan thousands of genetic variants associated with health and wellness, lifestyle and medical traits, as well as pharmacogenomics targets. The results of this analysis will help you gain a ‘bird’s eye view’ of your genetic health.
A report will be generated, interpreting these complex associations in a way that you can understand and act upon by changing your daily lifestyle. Recommendations will be provided for each trait, based on the results of your genome analysis, and will help you gain insight into several scenarios related to nutrition, fitness, sleeping habits, skin and hair health, and certain medical conditions. You can read more about the traits and download a sample report on this page.
The computational genomics platform used to generate your report provides the most rigorous science currently available to analyze genetics-based wellness and health. It is based on over a decade of highly curated global scientific research.
However, there are many things to consider when reading your genetics-based assessment. Most traits are influenced by three factors: your genetics, your early years and your nurture environment (ages 0-7), and your current lifestyle choices. As such, genetics is not the only determinant for the actual presence of a trait. Genetic predispositions can only tell you the statistical likelihood that you are predisposed to a particular trait, such as vitamin deficiency or skin youthfulness. While most genetic traits are affected by the same genetic variations regardless of ethnicity, the degree of influence of each genetic variation may vary across populations.
We strive to keep up with the latest developments in the field of Genomics and we will provide you with the most up-to-date information. Through the questionnaires we provide you with, we gather more information about the actual state of your wellness for some of the traits for which you get your predisposition results and can thereby determine how much of a trait is genetically predictable based on predisposition likelihood analysis.
Advanced sequencing technologies are deployed to get accurate results and recommendations. There is an option to obtain explanation of your report with an expert geneticist counselor via a 30 minutes one-on-one session and a follow up plan, if need be. The Essential DNA Test report is one of the most comprehensive and in-depth consumer genomics reports available in both English and Arabic. We scan your genome against hundreds of health traits and pharmacogenomic targets.
Here is the list of traits categories you will find on your report:
• Allergies
• Cardiovascular System Disorders
• Endocrinal System Disorders
• Eye Disorders
• Gastrointestinal System Disorders
• Genitourinary System Disorders
• Nutrition
• Fitness
• Beauty
• Immune System Disorders
• Mental Health Disorders
• Musculoskeletal System Disorders
• Nervous System Disorders
• Oral Health
• Respiratory System Disorders
• Skin Disorders
• Pharmacogenomics
It is for everyone! With the Essential DNA Test, anyone can decode the knowledge within to make better lifestyle choices that can help them reach their full potential. The report allows you to learn about your unique DNA composition in high-resolution.
You can use the report to:
• Get a deeper understanding of your body and health
• Gain actionable insights and recommendations to get
you going from day one
• Learn more about your genetic make-up and its effect
on your wellbeing and health
• Achieve more by applying new insights to your fitness
routines
The information in your profile is meant for you to gain a better understanding of your personal health and how it may change in response to lifestyle choices. It is not a diagnostic tool and cannot be used to diagnose or treat medical conditions. Tell your friends and family and help them discover ways to enhance their overall health, get insights into how they can achieve optimal fitness goals, and benefit from the recommendations provided as part of the Essential DNA Test report. Children under 18 years of age will need their parent or guardian to take full responsibility and sign the consent form on their behalf.
