Why is myGenome the starting point for a Longevity strategy?

Modern medicine increasingly focuses on prevention and personalized solutions, especially to achieve healthy aging and long life expectancy. By sequencing your entire genome, myGenome offers deep insight into your unique genetic makeup, revealing predispositions and risks that may affect your health and lifespan.

Proactive Health Planning

Identify your genetic predispositions to the most common chronic diseases, including cardiovascular conditions and cancer risks. This knowledge empowers you to take targeted preventive measures and, together with your physician, develop a personalized health plan.

Personalized Lifestyle and Nutrition Recommendations

Genetic insights can help you optimize your diet, exercise routines, and other lifestyle factors to support healthy aging.

Informed Family Planning

Carrier screening enables you to make responsible decisions about your family’s future.

Pharmacogenomics for Safer Medication Use

Learn how your body responds to over 250 medications, reducing side effect risks and maximizing treatment effectiveness.

A Lifelong Investment in Health

The data obtained from myGenome serves as your genetic “user manual.” As science advances, this information can be reinterpreted in light of the latest research, continuously supporting your journey toward a healthy, long life.

Why is whole genome sequencing important?

Think of your genetic code as a blueprint for your body. While exome sequencing offers a glimpse into the "parts list" (about 2% of your DNA), myGenome provides a view of the entire library (the "master blueprint") — complete with "parts," "millimeter-precise assembly instructions," and "rules of thumb.”

But why is this remaining 98% so vital to a long, healthy life? Because it's where the "master switches" that control your vitality and performance are located. These switches determine how you use nutrients, respond to exercise, metabolize drugs, and keep your body balanced over decades. That's the knowledge that exome scanning does not have.

Whole genome sequencing not only offers a more complete picture but also provides a resource you can revisit over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the myGenome test work?

myGenome is a genetic sequencing test performed from a simple saliva or blood sample. We sequence the entire genome (Whole Genome Sequencing) and provide a complete report on the results. All tests must be ordered by a physician and include both pre- and post-test genetic counselling.

How long does it take to receive my results?

The process takes approximately 12–14 weeks from the sample’s arrival at the laboratory to analysis and reporting. Timelines may vary, as each person’s genome is unique and may require different levels of analysis.

Is myGenome suitable for all ages?

The myGenome test is designed for healthy adults. For minors, we recommend the myNewborn genetic screening test, which focuses on the most common genetic conditions of childhood.

Are all genetic tests the same?

There are tests that analyze specific positions in your DNA but don't look at entire genes or the entire genome, these tests are usually cheaper and are called genotyping tests. If we were to compare them to a book, it would look something like this:

Genotyping examines only selected words or sentences.
Whole Genome Sequencing reads the entire book.

In both cases, the data is real, but the information obtained is completely different! In the first case, if we know exactly what to look for, we are likely to get interesting information, although we leave a lot of information unanalyzed, so the clinical utility is limited. It may not be visible to the naked eye in the report, but your entire genes are not analyzed in this case.

In other cases, the tests sequence the entire genome, but they do not have a team of experts in interpreting the variants, so they include in the report everything that appears in public databases without review and therefore final classification. Many of these variants have no clinical use, so the doctor cannot modify the medical treatment and causes unnecessary alarm in the healthy patient.

What is Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)?
Sequencing the entire genome reads billions of letters in DNA, a long chain of A's, T's, C's and G's (which represent the individual components of DNA). Each of your genes is encoded by this 4-letter code, so we analyze your sequence and then look for changes or variants in the genes.
What is NGS?
NGS stands for Next Generation Sequencing and refers to a set of technologies used to sequence millions of DNA fragments in parallel, improving turnaround times and reducing the cost of genetic testing. Before NGS sequencing was implemented, sequencing a genome cost millions of dollars.
What is DNA?
DNA is the genetic blueprint of life. It is a complex molecule found in every cell in our bodies and contains all the instructions needed to create and maintain life. It is an information storage system, a four-letter code that represents four molecules: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. The complete sequence of these chemicals makes up our genetic code, our genome. A single DNA molecule contains about 6 billion A, T, C, and G, and if we could unfold a DNA molecule, it would be almost 2 meters long.
Why sequence the entire genome?
Whole genome sequencing allows you to read out all of your genetic material, creating a library about you. This way, you can learn relevant information today to prevent and access updates in the future and access your library again. This journey allows you to now, with the help of your specialist, personalize your healthcare based on what makes you unique: your DNA.
What is a genetic variant?
Every person has thousands of genetic variants in their DNA, but this does not mean that they will develop a genetic disease. Some variants simply make us unique, others slightly increase the likelihood of developing a disease, and others require medical attention because they pose a risk to our health. Interpretation of genetic reports should always be done in consultation with a genetic counselor to help you understand the information.
Is it bad to be a carrier of a genetic mutation?
Each person's DNA contains changes and variations that make them unique. Detecting these differences is beneficial as it helps to determine guidelines and appropriate measures that can reduce the possibility of developing the disease and/or treat it in a predictable and more effective way.
Will I suffer from a certain disease because I am a carrier of a genetic disease?
No, it is common for someone to be a carrier of a genetic disease. People have two copies of each gene. Being a carrier means that one copy of a gene associated with a recessive disease has a genetic variant. In other words, one copy of the gene works and one copy does not work. Recessive diseases require an individual to have two variants (two non-working copies of the gene) to develop the disease, so you are a "carrier" of a variant but are not actually at risk of developing the disease. However, knowing this information is very important because you are at risk of having children with the disease if your reproductive partner is also a carrier of the same disease.
Does the genome change over time?
No. A person's genetic information does not change. Scientific knowledge is advancing, and fortunately we know more about it every day. For this reason, the genome is a resource of life, which can be looked into over time to learn new results that have been born thanks to the development of scientific knowledge.
Why do the prices of genetic tests vary so much?
The cost depends on the technology used and the level of genetic expertise required to provide meaningful results. There is a direct relationship between the amount of DNA information analysed and the reliability and clinical utility of the findings. At our partner laboratory, Veritas, we use Whole Genome Sequencing, enabling us to capture and analyse a person’s entire DNA. Because this information is highly valuable and can significantly influence future healthcare decisions, we believe results should be handled by qualified healthcare professionals. We work directly, or in collaboration with the ordering physician, to support both pre- and post-test genetic counselling, ensuring results are fully explained and a personalised action plan is developed.
What are chromosomes?
DNA is not scattered throughout our cells; it is carefully packaged into structures called chromosomes. We have 46 chromosomes in total, half inherited from our mother and half from our father. On these chromosomes are segments of DNA called genes, many of which contain instructions for making proteins, and these proteins determine everything about us, from the color of our eyes to our susceptibility to disease.
What is longevity and why is genetic testing relevant?

Longevity refers to the pursuit of maximising healthy, active years — not only extending life span but also preventing disease and maintaining quality of life.

For those interested in longevity, prevention is key: avoiding disease wherever possible, and detecting it as early as possible.

Why is it worth doing a genetic screening test?

A genetic test such as myGenome reveals genetic factors that can influence health and life expectancy. This knowledge allows for:

  • Development of personalised prevention strategies
  • Detection of hidden hereditary disease risks
  • Optimisation of lifestyle, nutrition, and medication
  • Conscious planning for a long and healthy life

Genetic testing helps ensure that life is not only longer, but healthier.

How does myGenome support personalised health maintenance?

myGenome is a comprehensive preventive genetic test based on whole genome sequencing, designed for healthy adults. It supports personalised health care in the following ways:

  • Risk Detection: Analyses hundreds of genes linked to diseases, accurately identifying the genetic risk of inherited and multifactorial conditions (e.g. cardiovascular disease, cancer, metabolic disorders).
  • Personalised Counselling: Results are interpreted by a medical genetics expert, who can advise on strategies to minimise identified risks.
  • Optimised Lifestyle and Medication: Includes pharmacogenomic analysis to determine how an individual’s body processes specific medications.
  • Lifelong Resource: Once performed, whole genome sequencing provides data that can be reinterpreted as scientific knowledge evolves, keeping your preventive health strategy up to date.

myGenome therefore gives everyone the opportunity to proactively take steps for their health and longevity, tailored to their own genetic characteristics.
