Navigenics' flagship service provides members with knowledge of their genetic predispositions and encourages them to act on the information

What Company Is Offering:

Navigenics offers personalized, preventive health and wellness services to their members. Navigenics' flagship service provides members with knowledge of their genetic predispositions and encourages them to act on the information to prevent the onset of disease, achieve earlier diagnosis, appropriately manage disease, or otherwise lessen its impact.

How It Works:

At Navigenics, they use the latest genetic science to illuminate the future of your health and arm you with the knowledge to change it for the better.
Thanks to advances in genomic research, medicine and technology, they can now determine your genetic predisposition for certain diseases, perhaps years or decades before they develop. These insights enable you to take action before a disorder strikes to delay or even prevent the illness altogether.
Their laboratory is certified under federal Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) standards. There they screen your whole genome and compare it to the most up-to-date research on the genetic bases of conditions such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease. They then provide you with clinically based knowledge to help you take positive steps to live as long and healthy a life as possible.
