Test Description
Are you at risk of developing type 2 diabetes? Uncover your genetic likelihood with the Securicord DNA Type 2 Diabetes Test.
What is Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition affecting how your body processes glucose (sugar), your primary energy source. In type 2 diabetes, your body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or doesn’t use it effectively, leading to high blood sugar levels. This can result in serious health complications like heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.
The Genetic Link
Your genes play a significant role in your susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. They influence how your body processes glucose, produces and responds to insulin, and metabolizes fats. By understanding your genetic risk factors, you can take proactive measures to prevent or delay the onset of this condition.
What’s Included?
The Securicord DNA Type 2 Diabetes Test examines over 40 genetic markers associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, including:
- ACC2: Reduced response to insulin
- ADCY5: Inhibited insulin secretion
- FABP2, FTO: Increased absorption of saturated fats
- ADIPOQ, CRY2, FADS1, G6PC2, GLUT2, MTNR1B, PROX1, TCF7L2: Elevated fasting glucose levels
- GCKR: Decreased fasting glucose levels
- GCK, HNF4A: Reduced pancreatic beta cell function
- GLIS3, IRS1, SLC30A8: Disrupted insulin production, signaling, and storage
- SHBG: Increased binding of sex hormones
- MADD: Impaired conversion of proinsulin to insulin
- SOD2: Increased production of reactive oxygen species
- HIF1A: Resistance to low oxygen levels
