SKINgen
Special preventive genetic profile dedicated to skin aging
Preventive genetic profile dedicated to skin aging
Processes and pathways such as detoxification, inflammation, oxidative stress and epidermal integrity are analyzed and individualized recommendations are provided.
SKINgen helps you protect and improve your skin health capacities.
This test is carried out on a sub-contracted basis by an accredited laboratory.
MACULAgen
Preventive genetic test against age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Preventive genetic test against age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
The AMD form analyzed in the MACULAgen profile is the so-called “dry form”, responsible for most cases of AMD. The MACULAgen profile allows the evaluation of the personal relative risk by analyzing two important genetic markers that have been associated with AMD. This profile should be prescribed as early as possible to people with AMD family history.
This test is carried out on a sub-contracted basis by an accredited laboratory.
GLAUCOMAgen
Genetic profile for evaluation of glaucoma predisposition
Genetic profile for evaluation of glaucoma predisposition
GLAUCOMAgen analyses the genetic polymorphisms associated with the development of exfoliative glaucoma. The target gene is linked to elastin formation of polymer fibers. The provided nutritional and lifestyle recommendations contribute to the prevention of glaucoma in adulthood.
This test is carried out on a sub-contracted basis by an accredited laboratory.
DENTYgen
Personal prevention of periodontitis
Personal prevention of periodontitis
The test analyzes three interleukin genes involved in inflammation. The DENTYgen profile is indicated in case of infantile and adult periodontitis, refractory periodontitis as well as prior to a dental implantation in patients at risk.
This test is carried out on a sub-contracted basis by an accredited laboratory.
BUCCOscreen
Analysis of the periodontopathogenic marker bacteria with BACTOdent Plus
BUCCOscreen combines the analysis of the periodontopathogenic marker bacteria with BACTOdent Plus and additionally the specific analysis of the genetic predisposition using our DENTYgen.
BACTOdent Plus
Analysis of seven marker pathogens for periodontitis
Marker bacteria for periodontitis
Periodontitis and peri-implantitis are caused by periodontal bacteria and are generally preceded by gingivitis.
BACTOdent Plus is a highly specific profile to effectively determine 7 relevant marker pathogens for periodontitis.
This test is carried out on a sub-contracted basis by an accredited laboratory.
freeVitaminDgen
Genetic test to determine the bioavailability of free vitamin D
Genetic test to determine the bioavailability of free vitamin D
Vitamin D regulates several biological functions but up to 90% of vitamin D is bound to the vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) being responsible for its transportation.
Less than 1% of the vitamin D only is freely available and therefore biologically active.
By investigating SNPs within the VDBP gene, which are associated with a different affinity to vitamin D metabolites, freeVitaminDgen detects if there is a deficiency of bioavailable vitamin D.
This test is carried out on a sub-contracted basis by an accredited laboratory.
Vitamins
To diagnose vitamin deficiencies
Vitamins are crucial parts of biochemical conversions in the body, such as co-factors in enzyme reactions and play an important role against oxidative stress. Deficiency or excess of vitamins can lead to a decreased function of several (organ) systems and the human body as a whole. Therefore, vitamin testing gives insight into absolute and relative deficiencies, and provides information about the impact of dietary changes and supplementations.
Laboratoires Réunis offers the following tests related to vitamins:
- Vitamin B3
- folic acid (vitamin B9)
- Vitamin B12
- Holotranscobalamin (active vitamin B12)
- freeVitaminDgen (genetic test to determine the bio-availability of free vitamin D)
- Biotin (vitamin H)
Minerals
To detect deficiencies across the mineral spectrum
Minerals are dissolved substances that are present within and outside the body cell. They are essential for several metabolic processes like enzyme activation, regulation of water balance and pH. Increased or decreased levels can impair metabolic processes and additionally give information about possible diseases.
Laboratoires Réunis offers complete analysis of minerals including sodium, potassium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, selenium. Single analysis on demand.
