GENETIC TESTING
MARKET GROWTH

The market of genetic testing is growing rapidly world wide. With an annual growth rate of 7.6%, the testing market ist expected to double to 16 Billion USD by the year 2030. DARWINs Labs are covering various aspects of genetic testing and represent one of the leading companies in the field of genetic testing.

LIFESTYLE GENETIC
TESTING

Novogenia Gmbh, Salzburg​

DNA analyses, that focus on non-medical interpretations of genetic traits are classed as socalled lifestyle genetic tests. Using advanced thechnologies such as Microfluidics and DNA microarrays, it is possible to determine up to 10 Million genetic variations per sample. This leads to valuable information about non-medical traits such as:​

NUTRIGENETICS

The underlying mechanisms which forms of calories lead to weight gain​
Variation in effectiveness of various weight reduction strategies​
The genetic ability to remove certain toxins from the body​
The interaction of nutrtition and genetics, influencing what is healthy or unhealthy​

PERFORMANCE GENETICS​

The genetic talent for performance athletics​
Ways, in which genes influence the stress of extreme exercise on the body​
The correct calories as fuel for genetically determined muscle fibers​

SKIN GENETICS

Identification of issues in the structure and maintainance of the skin​
Determination of the correct ingredients for dermal cosmetic products

PHARMACOGENETICS – MEDICATION SIDE EFFECTS

Novogenia Gmbh, Salzburg

DNA analyses, that determine the bodies ability to break down and convert more than 2000 types of medication. Drug side effects are considered the fifth most common cause of mortality in the western world. Many of these side effects are due to the inability of the body to break down or convert drug molecules in the body, leading to severe side effects or no therapeutic effect at all. Though the analysis of several hundred common genetic variations, the bodies ability to tolerate or utilize individual drugs can be predicted. This leads to an optimized therapy plan for individuals.​

GENETICS FOR DISEASE PREVENTION​

Novogenia Gmbh, Salzburg

It is estimated, that every individual has approximately 2000 genetic variations, that negatively impact his/her health. These inherited risk factors increase the risk of developing certain diseases. In many cases, genetics is a signifficant risk factor, but environmental factors also play a critical role in the progression of a disease. Since genetics is currently static and not changeable, we have to focus on modifying the environmental factors, to prevent diseases from developing. The analysis of these genetic risk factors lead to action plans with the aim to change the lifestyle and maintain health.​

MEDICAL GENETICS

HLN Genetik Gmbh, Vienna​

Currently, there are more than 8000 rare genetic diseases known to science. Medical geneticists use diagnostic genetic tests to search for the cause of such diseases to determine the further action plans in treatment and care. HLN Genetik GmbH is one of the few medical genetic Labroatories in Austria, that posesses a License to test for all genetic mutations known to science for medical purposes. Together with renowned experts such as Prof. Markus Hengstschläger, Prof. Jürgen Neese and Prof. Franco Laccone, HLN Genetik aimt to expand ist diagnostic spectrum in the medical genetic testing field in austria and beyond. ​

PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC TESTING​

HLN Genetik Gmbh, Vienna​

In Vitro Fertilization as a tretment for infertility is a rapidly growing market. In Austria alone, the number of IVF treatmnts grow approximaletly 4.7% per year. As the mother ages, the likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos rises rapidly. Fetuses with chromosomal abnormalities are not viable and implanting affected Embryos into the uterus does not lead to a successful pregnancy. To improve IVF success, embryos are screened for these abnormalities, to identify healthy embryos for transfer into the womb. HLN Genetik GmbH is currently the only laboratory in Austria with the license to perform preimplantation genetic diagnostics on embryos. ​
