Genomics in Wellness
The blueprint of life is stored in a biochemical molecule called DNA that is present in almost every cell of our body. This DNA comprises several genes and is densely packed in the nucleus of every cell with the help of proteins. The complete set of genes in our cells constitutes our genome. Genomics helps understand our genome by uncovering both hereditary traits and propensities and other individual variations developed over our lifetimes due to lifestyle, environment and chance. Using genomics in wellness empowers individuals with knowledge to enable proactive health and lifestyle decisions.

We offer a broad and holistic genomic assessment designed to understand genetic predispositions to various health conditions, enabling individuals to tailor lifestyle and medical decisions accordingly.
Understanding Genetic Predispositions
Strand Genomic Health Insights Test
Strand Genomic Health Insights test is for those who are curious about their genome and those who want to be proactive in managing their genetic risks. Get your genes sequenced and keep in touch with scientific progress
Strand Breast Assure
Strand Breast Assure is a specialized test for assessing the genetic risk of breast, ovarian & prostate cancer. It enables you to consult with your clinicians who can offer early detection strategies for those with a higher genetic predisposition.
Detecting Cancer Early
Strand Cancer Early Detection Screening Test
Strand Cancer Early Detection Screening Test uses advanced sequencing technologies to analyse DNA fragments in your bloodstream to look for signatures that can help detect presence of cancer.
I Am Healthy, Why Do I Need To Sequence My Genome ?
Screen Early, Treat Early
- 2-3% of healthy individuals we have sequenced have a mutation that increases their lifetime risk of cancer substantially (e.g. Mostly breast/ovarian cancer or colon cancer, but also prostate/pancreatic etc).
- 1 in 500 individuals have mutations that render them at risk for various heart conditions, called cardiomyopathies & channelopathies. These conditions may be clinically silent without any overt symptoms. Their impact could vary from benign at one extreme to sudden death in some cases at the other extreme.
- 25% of healthy individuals whose genomes we have sequenced are silent carriers of mutations that cause serious disease (e.g. Cystic Fibrosis, Beta-Thalassemia, etc. There are a few thousand such diseases).
- At 25 million births p.a., we can reduce disease burden by 25,000 – 250,000 annually if everyone were to get their genomes sequenced while planning their families.
Early Detection, Better Treatment
- Current medical protocols can help control this risk in those who harbour a mutation in genes associated with inherited cancer.
- Publications estimate 2,50,000 lives can be saved in India alone if, all adult women were tested and those with increased risks are monitored carefully.
- Continued monitoring of those with such mutations is key for early intervention and better health outcomes.
