which gene test is more scientific?
Sun Yingli told reporters that there is a strong scientific basis for the detection of some alcohol metabolism genes, obesity genes and cancer genes in the market, compared with "gifted genes".
"alcohol metabolism ability gene detection is based on one hundred percent scientific basis, and people can use it to judge the risk of drinking." Sun Yingli said.
in addition, she said that studies have shown that some genes are associated with obesity, such as FTO, but obesity is also associated with acquired factors and needs to be taken into consideration.
in addition, genetic testing for diseases including some cancers is also more scientific. For example, scientists are now relatively clear about lung cancer, breast cancer and other diseases.
in the case of breast cancer, the world is recognized that the two genes of BRCA1 and BRCA2, if there is a mutation, may lead to a risk of 70% breast cancer, and if all two mutations have, the risk will be higher.
"but this is only based on the results that have been studied to determine the risk of illness, even if a person has a risk of 70% cancer, it is not to say that the person will have to get the disease." Sun Yingli reminded everyone that after receiving the report, more should adjust their lifestyle and reduce the risk of illness. On the contrary, even if the risk of illness is very low, if the day after tomorrow does not pay attention to maintaining good habits, it will increase the risk.
in addition, Sun Yingli also stressed that gene detection can also diagnose some diseases including Down's syndrome. If children find obvious abnormalities in intelligence and communication with others, parents need to take the children to carry out the corresponding examination and take timely prevention or treatment measures.
in view of the difference in price detection, Sun Yingli said, from a technical point of view, that if a single gene or a few genes were tested with PCR (PCR), the price was low, usually at hundreds of yuan, and if the whole genome was sequenced, the cost would be higher. "
" but now the market is mixed, do not exclude the whole genome sequencing price, but do PCR, the ordinary people may be difficult to distinguish. Sun Yingli reminding.
