Application Examples of NGx

Food Response

Food components (such as ethanol, caffeine, and lactose) will have to undergo certain biological processes to be used by human bodies. Certain genetic variations affect how well the food components are metabolised in the body.

Case 1: Caffeine & CYP1A2

Caffeine is a bioactive component that acts as a stimulant in our brains. The enzyme CYP1A2 in the liver is the main enzyme to metabolise caffeine. However, individuals living with a genetic variant that predisposes them to have slower CYP1A2 enzyme activities (known as “slow caffeine metabolisers”) are prone to heart attacks with greater daily caffeine intake amount.

Case 2: Lactose & LCT

Lactose is a type of carbohydrate that is mainly found in dairy products (such as dairy milk). It is digested by lactase (controlled by the LCT gene) enzyme in the small intestine to be absorbed into the blood. Individuals living with genetic variants of LCT regulator genes are at higher risk of having lactose intolerance.

Nutrient Utilisation Efficacy

Some genes help in the conversion, clearance, or cycling of nutrients that are ingested or stored. Thus, certain variations in those genes may lead to differences in the efficiency/efficacy of how our bodies utilize certain nutrients.

Case 1: Omega-3 Conversion

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are Omega-3 fatty acids which are important in maintaining the health of blood vessels and the nervous system. In human bodies, ALA – with lower efficiency – can be converted to EPA, which later will be converted to DHA. Individuals living with certain genetic variants of the enzymes involved in the conversion

Case 2: Beta-carotene Conversion

Beta-carotene is a type of red-orange carotenoid that is commonly found in vegetables (such as pumpkins and carrots) and fruits. It is converted into Vitamin A in human bodies by the beta-carotene oxygenase 1 (BCO1) enzyme. People who have certain genetic variants may need a longer time to metabolize beta-carotene, causing them to experience skin discolouration more easily with the ingestion of beta-carotene-containing foods.

Liver Detoxification

For literally all nutrients, food components, and medicines that we ingest and absorb, the liver (with the help of its enzyme systems) will be the organ in conversion, storage, and deactivation (“detox”) processes. Thus, individuals with certain genetic variations may reduce the efficiency or efficacy of the detoxification process, and thus, potential health risks.

Case 1: GSTM1 and Cancer Risk

Glutathione S-transferase Mu-1 (GSTM1) enzyme is a type of enzyme that helps in deactivating unwanted toxins and excessive nutrients/medicines for excretion, which is important in protecting our bodies from potential toxicity and damage. Individuals with deletions of genes for GSTM1 (which reduce the enzyme’s activity) are found to be exposed to cancer risk (such as lung cancer) greater than individuals with functional genes.

What is Nutrigenomics (NGx)?

Nutrigenomics (NGx) is the study of how genes affect a person’s response to nutrients (such as vitamins) and food components (such as caffeine). This field combines nutrition and genomics (the study of genes and their functions) to help dietitians or nutritionists and healthcare professionals to formulate tailored dietary plans and targeted supplementations (if necessary). Individual variations of genetic makeup will lead to differences in response or utilizations of certain nutrients and/or food components. In essence, NGx empowers healthcare professionals to craft personalised nutritional recommendations, leveraging genetic insights to enhance the effectiveness of dietary interventions for individuals.

This test is open to the general public.
While there are no age restrictions for Nutrigenomics (NGx) tests. For individuals below the age of 18, a legal guardian must complete the request and consent form. In the case of children, their phenotype (DNA traits) remains the same, but medication doses might change as they grow.

Transform Your Health, Our Commitment

In Malaysia, the increasing rates of chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, and hypertension are alarming. Many Malaysians struggle with these health issues, often unaware that their diet could be playing a significant role. What if you could personalize your nutrition based on your unique genetic makeup to improve your health?

Frequently Asked Questions

At Precision Diagnostics, we are committed to empowering people globally with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health. With our cutting-edge pharmacogenomics test, you can take control of your treatment and potentially prevent adverse drug reactions that could worsen your condition.

What is the similarities of all tests?

Nutrigenomics is the science of understanding how your genes interact with the foods you eat. By taking our nutrigenomics test, you can discover which nutrients your body needs more or less of, and how your diet might be affecting your health. This insight can help you make smarter dietary choices that are specifically tailored to your genetic profile.

PRECISE Nutrigenomics (NGx) is an advanced nutrigenomic test that targets 46 specific genes, each supported by robust scientific evidence from reputable journals. At Precision Diagnostics, The uniqueness of our PRECISE NGx report is that only healthcare professionals such as doctors, medical officers and certified dietitians have access that is a comprehensive nutrigenomic report that includes the overall summary of the test, detailed of each nutrient and food recommendation and genetic information.

ATCC, known as Advancing Tomorrow’s Cure Community, is a community established to study how Asian genetics react to current medicines. To enjoy the sponsored pricing, it is REQUIRED to partake in the ATCC consent.

Your deidentified sample will be stored indefinitely as anonymous specimens for the option of being able to update your report at the minimal cost after the first FOC update with joining the ATCC, as well as for research purposes. Only an identification specimen number will be used, ensuring the anonymity and privacy of your data.
As for the possibility of research direction changes leading to activities related to cloning, Malaysia does not support human cloning therefore we will not be embarking on this area of research.

Pharmacogenomics primarily focuses on understanding how an individual’s genetic makeup influences their response to drugs, optimising drug therapy based on genetic factors, and advancing personalized medicine. While research directions can evolve over time, the core focus of pharmacogenomics remains centered on drug response and genetic variability rather than cloning or genetic manipulation for other purposes.
