Genetic testing is the process of examining your DNA to detect any variations that may be linked to genetic disorders, inherited diseases, or other health-related conditions. It can also reveal traits such as lactose intolerance, skin aging patterns, or even eye colour.
Genetic testing can provide valuable information about your health, including your risk of developing certain diseases, your response to specific medications, and your genetic ancestry. It can also help you better understand inherent characteristics such as behavioural traits, dietary tendencies, optimal physical conditioning and more. This knowledge can empower you to make informed decisions about your healthcare and take proactive steps towards disease prevention and personalised treatment
Our genetic testing is typically performed using a sample of saliva or blood. The sample is collected and sent to our in-house, NABL accredited laboratory in Pune where DNA analysis is conducted to identify any genetic variations.
Some genetic tests may be covered by health insurance if deemed medically necessary, while others may require out-of-pocket payment or may not be covered at all. It is recommended to check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage options.

Genetic testing for children may be considered in cases of suspected genetic conditions, developmental delays, or when there's a family history of genetic disorders. It is a perfectly safe procedure. However, the decision should involve careful consideration and consultation with a healthcare provider to weigh the potential benefits and implications for the child and family.
Yes, at GeneArche, we have specially designed genetic test kits which can help predict your ancestry basis within the currently available world population structure. Our customised report for the Indian subpopulations is still under development.
Genetic test accuracy depends on various factors, including the type of test, the specific analysis requested and the genetic variants being tested. For common diseases and traits, genetic tests typically explain 20% to 60% of the causative factors. In the case of rare diseases or familial genetic risk assessments, the correlation with genetic risk can range from 60% to nearly 100%. While testing and subsequent detection of genetic variations is generally considered highly accurate, it is important to interpret results in the context of individual circumstances and consult with healthcare professionals for proper evaluation and interpretation. For example, certain common diseases like blood pressure, diabetes etc are caused by both genetic as well as environmental factors.
The turnaround time (TAT) for the results is 14 working days.
