OPTIPHI HELIX HEALTH TEST

This Helix Health Test identifies your genetic tendency to certain health risks by  Optiphi® identifying distinct genetic variations in your DNA. These variations may affect the expression or function of certain genes, making you more susceptible to certain health conditions or characteristics. Based on the variations detected, certain health characteristics may be a high priority area for you.

THERE ARE EIGHT HEALTH RISK CATEGORIES THAT ARE CONSIDERED:

      • Detoxification
      • Insulin sensitivity
      • Inflammation
      • Bone health
      • Oxidative stress
      • Lipid metabolism
      • Methylation
      • Iron overload & blood clotting

OPTIPHI DNA SKIN TEST

This Optiphi® Helix Skin Test identifies unique variations indicating your genetic predisposition to certain skin characteristics. These variations may affect the expression or function of certain genes making you more susceptible to certain skin conditions or characteristics, such as wrinkles or inflammation. Based on the variation detected, a specific skin characteristic may be a priority for you.

THERE ARE SIX SKIN CATEGORIES THAT ARE INVESTIGATED:

      • Wrinkles, volume loss and glycation
      • Dermal sensitivity and detoxification
      • Inflammation of the skin
      • Oxidative stress
      • DNA protection and repair
      • Pigmentation and sun sensitivity

OPTIPHI DNA CANCER RISK TEST

OPTIPHI HELIX BREAST, OVARIAN AND PROSTATE CANCER RISK TEST

The intention of the Optiphi® Helix Breast, Ovarian and Prostate Cancer Test is to screen a  panel of markers that have been commonly associated with the development of breast cancer with some markers also associated with increased risk for ovarian and prostate cancer. The screening of these markers creates awareness of the potential risks associated with these cancers.

There are over 1000 mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, but not all of them are high risk and most are classified as harmless. Optiphi® has selected a smaller panel of markers in the BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, CHEK2, TP53, NBN and PALB2 genes which together contribute to an increased genetic risk.

From this panel of markers, it is possible to determine an odds ratio based on the detected mutations. This odds ratio is not a diagnostic value, but merely a guide to determine the risk ratio from a genetic perspective, it is not intended to be a diagnosis or prediction for future health.

It is important to understand that there are several risk factors involved in breast cancer, with genetics contributing only a portion to overall susceptibility.

OPTIPHI DNA HORMONE TEST

The Optiphi® Helix Hormone Test identifies your unique predisposition to certain risks which could affect your hormone balance. These genetic variations may affect the expression or function of certain genes making you more susceptible to certain hormonal conditions or characteristics. Based on the variations detected, certain characteristics may be a high priority area for you.

Each category will indicate the genes that were investigated and your unique genotype. Additionally, each category will also have an illustrative description of the possible impact your genes might have on the specific pathways involved, and how these may impact your hormone levels. Recommendations are given to improve hormone balance and lower the impact of detected genotypes.

THERE ARE FOUR MAIN CATEGORIES THAT ARE CONSIDERED:

      • Steroid hormone metabolism
      • Methylation and endocrine function
      • Xenobiotic metabolism
      • Thyroid function
