Are my genetic test results kept private?
Yes, absolute privacy is our standard. Your genetic data and digital health reports are stored securely and remain strictly confidential between you and the NURA medical team.
What is the NURA Genetic Screening test?
It is an advanced, once-in-a-lifetime blood test that maps your genome to identify your inherited risk for various lifestyle diseases and common cancers. It helps you understand your body’s natural predispositions so you can make informed, proactive health decisions.
How is Genetic Screening different from NURA’s standard AI health screening?
While our standard 120-minute AI health screening uses imaging and lab tests to assess your current health, the Genetic Screening looks at your DNA to understand what conditions you might be predisposed to developing in the future.
What types of Genetic Screening packages are available?
NURA offers three specific genetic packages: Men’s Genetic Screening (₹15,000), Women’s Genetic Screening (₹15,000), and a Genetic Nutrition Panel (₹18,000).
Who should get a Genetic Screening?
The screening is ideal for asymptomatic, healthy individuals who want to take charge of their future wellbeing. It is highly recommended for anyone with a family history of cancer, heart disease, or metabolic conditions. Note: The Men’s and Women’s screenings are for individuals aged 16 and above, while the Nutrition Panel is open to anyone […]
How is the test conducted? Does it require fasting?
The process is simple and quick. It requires only a standard 3-4ml blood draw, which is sent to our lab for genetic extraction and genome-wide genotyping. No fasting or special preparation is required.
How often do I need to take this test?
Only once. Because your DNA does not change over time, this is a one-time screening that will provide you with lifelong health insights.
What conditions are covered under the Men’s and Women’s Genetic panels?
Using advanced Polygenic Risk Scoring (PRS), these panels identify inherited risks for major cancers (including colon, lung, liver, breast, and prostate) as well as lifestyle conditions (such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes).
What does the Genetic Nutrition Panel cover?
The Nutrition Panel analyzes how your specific genes influence your diet and wellness. It provides actionable insights into your vitamin and mineral absorption, metabolism, food sensitivities (like salt or trans fats), and weight management tendencies.
Is this a diagnostic test?
No. NURA’s Genetic Screening is a preventive tool designed to measure genetic susceptibility. It does not diagnose any current illness, but rather identifies potential risks so you and your doctor can focus on early prevention.
