the medical interest in genetic for correct nutrition studies

-The progress made in the exact microarrays directed, developed by Genotest, get a study of genetic polymorphisms altered in an accurate, fast and economic way

-the unit of Endocrinology of the Euroclínica group, has been developing the application of the alteration in genetic polymorphisms, by NutriCheck, designed by the Genotest laboratory

-the usefulness of this is to assess the degree of the predisposition to suffer from some of these pathologies: obesity, diabetes mellitus type II and hiperlipemias

Madrid, April 2012.- genetic studies that serve support the medical clinician for the assessment and treatment of some metabolic pathologiesbegins to bear fruit. Advances made by one of the laboratories specialized in genetics, as the exact microarrays directed developed by Genotest, a study of genetic polymorphisms altered in an accurate, fast and economic way.

The unit of Endocrinology of the Group Euroclínica, one of the pioneers in the diagnosis of obesity, diabetes, and responsible for the most frequent cardiovascular pathology hiperlipemias, begins to results after the study of alterations in the genetic polymorphisms, using the NutriCheck, the genetic test of Genotest (www.genotest.es).

The usefulness of the NutriCheck is based on evaluating the degree of predisposition to suffer from some of these pathologies: obesity, diabetes mellitus type 2 and hiperlipemias.

In addition, the lines of action on the food standard specifies the specialist to perform based on the use of certain recommended foods and the exclusion of others, since certain components of some foods can slow down, lengthen or prevent its normal metabolization according to the individual genetic pattern.

Team this group directed by Dr. Rafael Gómez and Blasco Endocrinology, has made nearly a hundred of tests and found how the test in several respects.

Mainly, the NutriCheck predicts the predisposition to suffer from any of the mentioned pathologies and hygienic changes – health to prevent or delay the onset of these complications, associated with a lack of nutritional adaptation to individual genetic profile to the maximum.

It should be remembered that the overweight, obesity, excess lipids in blood and type II diabetes are the main and most serious risk factors for cardiovascular disease, as arterial hypertension, ischemic heart disease and affectation stroke, etc.

The quick start of guidelines nutritional, indicated in the results of the Nutricheck study, coupled with physical exercise appropriate to each patient begin to show frankly promising results, for the diagnosis, prognosis and individualized treatment of these alterations in metabolism and its gradual correction.

Testimonial

Dr Gomez and Blasco, the usefulness of the NutriCheck relies on the assistance that contributes to the professional to implement a diet, a few patterns of behaviour and changes in life habits.

It emphasizes that patients who has made a genetic test NutriCheck allowing specifically adapt their diet, the results are really good.

According to the specialist, the genetic test NutriCheck is indicated in patients with a history of metabolic diseases, as well as in people who still following a food pattern cannot expected outcomes, and in general for all those who want to improve their nutritional status.
