Detection of polymorphism in the FTO gene

Predictive testing can provide information whether a person is a carrier of a defined genetic marker. Based on that information, it is possible to assess the risk of developing a certain condition or a disease during lifetime, which is influenced by the genetic basis. Also, it is possible to estimate certain predispositions based on which a person can direct life activities (such as sports and diet).

It is necessary to deliver 2.5 ml of peripheral blood using 3.8% sodium citrate as anticoagulant in vol/vol ratio 1:9. It is possible to deliver a blood sample that has already been frozen. The samples are accepted every day from 10 to 13h. There is possibility to deliver the sample via post express service. The analysis is performed within 10 working days. The results and the bill are sent to the patient's home address, or can be collected personally at the Institute from 10 to 16h every day.

For payment instructions, please contact us.
