People of the Middle-East origin have a distinct genetic profile from European or Ashkenazi Jewish population. Thus, the currently available Jewish or other genetic panels for disease-carrier testing are not as relevant to the descendants of Middle Eastern origin.

Cytochrome P450 genotype may be used to determine how the body metabolizes a drug. This is useful for individuals with personal or family history of adverse reactions to medications. Three genes, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, and CYP2C9, are genotyped in this test. Roughly 10 million points of genetic variation are distributed across our DNA, and those variations make us who we are as individuals. However, some of those variants are pathological or diseases related, and the challenge for scientists is to distinguish between harmless variants and those that are potentially hazardous to our health. At FirmaLab we are expert scientists to help you find and distinguish those pathological variations.
