What is Genome Health ?
- Genome Health is GC Genome’s gene analysis and disease prediction service that identifies risk alleles related to major cancer types and general diseases and provides efficient prevention and management solutions.
- It checks how susceptible the examinee is to the specific disease by analyzing SNV(Single Nucleotide variant) of several genes that could increase the risk of developing disease at once using NGS(Next Generation Sequencing) method.
- Genome health tests up to 44,45 types of diseases respectively in male and female.
* SNV : Single base differences in a single sequence or in a small number of populations within a species

Which information provide by Genome health?
Why Genome Health for your patient?
How does Genome Health work?
After consulting with your doctor about necessity of genetic test, little amount of blood will be drawn.
Your blood sample will go through microarray and interpretation from specialized medical doctors at GC Genome Laboratory.
Your results are sent to your healthcare provider in 10 days.
What is risk Allele?
Genetic Variant
Genetic variant is the difference in DNA among individuals, which may be inherited or result from external factors. It may determine your physical appearance or increase the risk of diseases, or may have no effect at all.
Genotype
Genotype refers to genetic information that determines the characteristics of an organism. If the same genetic information in a specific location has a single pair of chromosomes, it is called homozygous. If genetic information is different from each other, it is called heterozygous. Inheritance is divided into dominant inheritance and recessive inheritance according to the inheritance type of genetic information increasing the risk of disease, which determine the phenotypes.
- Homozygous : A combination of the same genetic information
- Heterozygous : A combination of different genetic information
Risk Allele
Some genotypes affect the risk of disease and some do not. Genotypes increasing the risk of disease are called risk alleles.

- The disease written in blue is the disease associated width the gene needed to be managed intensively.
- The incidence rate of the disease increases massively even if just one variant is identified.
