FAGRON GENOMICS
DNA-Test in Zurich
A global manufacturer of in-vitro medical devices specializing in developing and maintaining medical genetic algorithms.
One patient – one DNA-based treatment
Our DNA is as unique as we are and helps to define our body’s needs and abilities. Understanding your genes allows you and your healthcare provider to define treatments better and thus improve therapeutic outcomes.
The Fagron Genomics tests are designed to provide physicians with personalized, science-based treatment recommendations. They are used in the areas of trichology, nutrition, and sport.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
A sample taken from the patient’s oral mucosa can be used to detect genetic differences that are important for research into human health.
Products:
- NutriGen
- TrichoTest
- SportTest
Nutrigen
Professional nutrigenomic advice
Fagron NutriGen is an innovative nutrigenomic algorithm for personalizing nutrition, supplementation, and weight loss planning.
Fagron NutriGen is designed to help health professionals make specific decisions to prevent hereditary health risks. It analyzes 109 genetic susceptibilities significantly influencing health and nutrition-related parameters. This data is combined with the analysis of the patient’s medical history to provide the most appropriate health and nutritional recommendations.
Based on the results, the recommendations are discussed with the doctor.
TrichoTest
TrichoTest™ offers personalized treatment recommendations for alopecia.
Its algorithm combines genetic data, the patient’s relevant medical history, and possible contraindications. TrichoTest™ is a pharmacogenetic approach to personalize alopecia treatment in men and women. All patients with scalp or hair problems are candidates for TrichoTest™.
TrichoTest™ analyzes 26 polymorphisms associated with metabolic pathways and predicts treatment responses considering relevant patient history (intolerances, hypersensitivity, diseases, medication, blood pressure, etc.).
SportTest
The Fagron sports genetic test provides essential information to determine the best personalized training plan. The genetic results will help health professionals and sports medicine specialists guide their patients to maximize athletic performance while maintaining their health. The Fagron Sport Test analyzes 25 polymorphisms and provides information on predispositions and risks associated with an individual’s athletic performance. Whether professional or not, all athletes can improve their athletic performance and prevent injuries with the Fagron Sport genetic test.
Athletic abilities of the patient:
- Strength (anaerobic exercise)
- Endurance (aerobic exercise)
- Strength versus endurance (best condition of the patient)
- Aerobic power (VO2max) (cardiovascular endurance)
- Reaction to exercise
Patient physical characteristics:
- Inflammation (repair of muscle damage after training)
- Oxidative stress (muscle fatigue)
- Muscle condition (a characteristic that can predict athletic performance
- High blood pressure (blood pressure, water, and salt balance in the body)
- Soft tissue injuries (tendinopathy and/or muscle injury)
- Recovery after training (time of lactate elimination from the muscles)
- Cellulitis (genetic study in female patients only)
