Obesity is now recognized as one of the most serious public health challenges of the 21st century. According to the World Health Organization, obesity affect more than 600 million adults and 41 million children under the age of five. Excessive weight gain increases the risk of health problems such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, liver disease, sleep apnea and cancer. Such health complication can have a significant impact on the quality of life as well as life expectancy of an individual.
Your genetic makeup plays a role in the development of obesity. Genetic changes are linked to eating habits, metabolism and even how well your body may respond to exercise. With a simple mouth swab, you can identify these genetic changes that influences your obesity risk and help you optimize your diet and exercise to finally achieve your weight loss goals.
Studies show multiple genetic variants can influence an individual’s body weight, and how they respond to specific diets and exercise plans. Variants in the following genes are included in this test:
• MC4R – disrupts appetite suppression
• NMB – associated with food disinhibition
• FTO – influences energy intake, diet impact and satiety
• SH2B1 – interrupts a satiety hormone signalling pathway
• BDNF – influences exercise motivation
• ADRB2 – affects weight loss in response to exercise
• APOA2 – alters saturated fat metabolism
• FABP2 – increases fatty acid uptake
• CLOCK – disrupts the normal circadian rhythm
• AMY1 – reduces the ability to digest starch
• ADIPOQ – disrupts normal glucose regulation

Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about this test.
Are my results confidential?
Yes, your results are 100% confidential. No one will be able to access your account or your results unless you give them your confidential account login. You can change the password to your account at any time. Please remember to safeguard your login information and not share it with anyone.
How long does the test take?
Testing begins immediately the day that your samples arrive at the laboratory. In some special situations, additional testing may be required, which could increase the turnaround time by a few extra days. You can check the status of your test online 24/7 using your secure account login. Your test report is released immediately once testing is complete.
Would eating or drinking before collecting my DNA affect my results?
Drinking or eating will not change the results in any way. The reason that you are not supposed to drink or have anything in the mouth for an extended period prior to collection is to ensure that we have enough buccal cells to complete the test. If there are not enough cells to complete the test, then the results will not be released and a recollection will be required.
How do I ship my samples back to the laboratory?
Once you have finished your sample collection, place the collection kit box into the prepaid plastic USPS envelope included with the kit, then mail your samples to the laboratory via your mailbox or a local USPS drop box. If you wish to monitor the status of your shipment, remember to record the tracking number on the shipping label. You can track the status of your shipment using your tracking number on the USPS website.
Do I have to use the return envelope to send my kits back?
No. You can send the kits back to the laboratory using any shipping method of your choosing. Please be advised that if you do not use the included prepaid return mailer to ship your samples, it is your responsibility to ensure that your samples arrive at the laboratory. We will not be able to provide assistance for shipments that do not use our prepaid return mailer.
