Genetic Testing in Brașov

Find out about Genetic Testing in Brașov, offered by ArtMedica. At ArtMedica we give patients an advanced range of genetic tests, meant to provide key information for accurate, early diagnosis and personalised treatment.

• Accurate diagnosis: helps identify the genetic cause of a disease, supporting correct, early diagnosis.
• Planning and prevention: spotting genetic predispositions allows preventive measures and lifestyle changes to lower the risk of illness.
• Personalised treatment: testing can guide the choice of the best treatment, including medicines and doses suited to the patient’s genetic profile.
• Insight into how your body responds to medicines: tests can show how the body reacts to certain drugs, helping avoid adverse reactions.
• Cancer risk: testing for gene mutations can reveal a higher cancer risk, allowing monitoring and early action.
• Better quality of life: people can make more informed choices about their health and lifestyle.
• Correct supplementation: tests can point to nutritional deficiencies based on your genetic profile.
• Weight management: for people who struggle with their weight, nutrigenetic testing can show how the body reacts to carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
• A contribution to science: by taking genetic tests, patients help advance medical research.

1. Nutrigenetic testing: the DNA test analyses more than 1000 genetic regions involved in gut health, immunity, heart health, obesity, macro- and micronutrient metabolism, sports performance, skin health, stress and sleep. Your genetic code can answer important questions about diet, health and exercise.
2. Epigenetic testing, TruAge (biological age and lifestyle): TruAge is the most advanced test for assessing biological age, analysing more than 900,000 DNA regions. 60% of ageing markers can be changed. TruAge compares your DNA against an epigenetic clock and gives you a detailed report on your biological health.
3. Genetic testing for Diamine Oxidase (DAO) deficiency: the test detects whether a DAO deficiency, which affects how histamine from food is metabolised, is caused by genetic changes. It recommends an effective plan, including a low-histamine diet and natural DAO supplements.
4. Cancer Predisposition Panel, 125 Genes: this advanced test detects inherited genetic mutations. 15% of cancers are caused by hereditary genetic mutations. The test analyses 125 genes linked to hereditary cancers, including breast, colorectal, ovarian, uterine, gastric, pancreatic, prostate and melanoma.
5. Non-Invasive Cancer Screening (TruCheck): TruCheck is the most advanced test that detects cancer at an early stage through a simple blood draw. It can identify more than 70 types of solid tumours. With a sensitivity of 92.1% and a specificity of nearly 100%, TruCheck suits asymptomatic people at higher cancer risk, those with a family history, or those who have been in full remission for at least 5 to 10 years.

1. Advanced technology and high precision: we work in partnership with the laboratory in Romania that has the widest range of in-house genetic tests, running more than 17,000 genetic tests every year.
2. A personalised approach: for us, every patient is unique and deserves the best care and attention.
3. High-quality genetic counselling: testing here is not just a report. We provide full genetic counselling, and our team of genetic counsellors and nutritionists guides you through the data.
4. Comfort and convenience: the sample collection process is simple, quick and comfortable.
5. Feedback and continuous improvement: we listen to patient feedback and keep improving our services.
