Personalized health checkup in Turkey

Our partner clinics in Turkey are at the forefront of predictive medicine. Beyond the traditional health checkup, we offer an in-depth look at your genetic makeup through advanced genomic testing.

We decipher your genetic code to identify your predispositions. We then help you take an active, preventive approach to ensuring your long-term health.

Our personalized health check-up includes:

  • A personalized genetic check-up: Discover your genetic predispositions and assess your risk for several diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.
  • Personalized health recommendations: Benefit from nutrition, exercise and lifestyle advice tailored to your unique genetic profile.
  • Advanced medical testing: Our in-depth analyses, based on simple samples, give you accurate, reliable results.

Anticipate risks, improve your quality of life. Schedule your genetic health checkup now.

Genetic check-up: All you need to know 

The genetic check-up is a set of genetic tests that examine DNA, the genetic code that is unique to each individual. They can detect changes (mutations) in these genetic instructions that may be the cause of hereditary diseases or future disorders.

A genetic test provides:

  • Targeted analysis: one or more specific genes associated with a particular disease.
  • Exome analysis: All protein-coding genes, about 2% of the genome.
  • Whole genome sequencing: Analysis of all our genetic material.

A positive result does not necessarily mean that you will develop the disease, and a negative result does not guarantee that you are not at risk. Many factors, both genetic and environmental, influence gene expression.
You should talk to a health professional (doctor, geneticist) to understand the results, their implications and any action that needs to be taken.

Many experts in Turkey can help you in this process. Don't hesitate to use their expertise if you have any questions.

Types of genetic tests in Turkey

In Turkey, genetic testing for medical treatment plays an important role in determining the likelihood of developing certain diseases.

There are several types of genetic tests:

Types of genetic tests   Characteristics
Diagnostic tests
  • Identifying a known disease: When a person presents with symptoms, a genetic test can confirm or refute a suspected diagnosis. For example, cystic fibrosis or Huntington's disease can be diagnosed using these tests.
  • Personalised treatments: By identifying the genetic changes at the root of a disease, diagnostic tests allow treatments to be tailored to each patient, improving their effectiveness.
Predictive and presymptomatic testing
  • Assessing future risk: These tests can identify people at risk of developing a genetic disease in the future, even if they have no current symptoms. For example, some bowel cancers can be predicted by genetic testing.
  • Informed decision-making: The results of these tests can help people make important decisions about their health, such as making lifestyle changes or considering more frequent medical check-ups.
Carrier tests
  • Identifying genetic mutations: These tests look for the presence of genetic mutations associated with inherited diseases, such as sickle cell anemia or cystic fibrosis.
  • Genetic counseling: The results of these tests are often used in genetic counseling to help couples plan an informed family.
Pharmacogenomics
  • Personalised medicines: Pharmacogenomics studies the influence of our genetic predisposition on our response to drugs. Pharmacogenomic testing makes it possible to select the most appropriate treatment for each patient based on their genetic characteristics, thereby reducing side effects and increasing therapeutic efficacy.
Prenatal testing
  • Screening for genetic abnormalities in the fetus: These tests can detect certain genetic abnormalities in the fetus during pregnancy, such as Down's syndrome or trisomy 18.
  • Decision-making during pregnancy: The results of these tests can help prospective parents make important decisions about continuing the pregnancy.
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
  • Selection of healthy embryos: PGD is carried out as part of in vitro fertilization. It is used to select healthy embryos, i.e. those with no identified genetic abnormalities, before transferring them to the uterus.

Genetic check-up process in Turkey

Your health is our priority. A Genetic Health Check in Turkey gives you an in-depth view of your genetic capital, enabling you to adopt a lifestyle tailored to your long-term well-being.

How does it work?

The process of a genetic health check in Turkey consists of 3 steps :

  1. Personalized consultation :
    • In-depth discussion: An interview with an expert allows you to discuss your family history, lifestyle and specific concerns.

    • Choice of tests: Together, you select the genetic tests that best meet your needs.

  2. Complete genetic analysis:
    • Decoding your DNA: Your samples are analyzed in the lab to reveal your unique genetic makeup.

    • Detailed report: You will receive a comprehensive report that decodes the results of your analyses.

  3. Post-test consultation (online or face to face)
    • Interpretation of results: A healthcare professional will guide you through the interpretation of your genetic report.

    • Personalized advice: You'll receive specific recommendations to optimize your health, prevent disease and improve your quality of life.

Areas covered in our genetic assessment

Our assessment covers a wide range of areas, including:

  • Cardiovascular: Risk for heart disease and stroke.
  • Digestive: Gut health and microbiome.
  • Immune: Susceptibility to infection and chronic disease.
  • Metabolic: Risk of diabetes, obesity, and metabolic disorders.
  • Athletic: Genetic factors affecting physical performance.
  • Neurological: Risk of neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive function.
  • Dermatologic: Skin aging and skin diseases.
  • Hormonal: Hormonal imbalances and their effects.
  • Reproductive: Fertility and reproductive health.

Sequence of the genome

If genetic testing does not lead to a diagnosis, but a genetic cause is still suspected, some clinics offer a genome process and analysis of a DNA sample from your blood.

Each person has a unique genome, which is made up of the DNA testing of all of a person's genes. Indeed, this sophisticated test can further help identify genetic variants that may be related to your health. Typically, this test only examines the parts of DNA encoding proteins called an exome.
