What is Polygenic Risk Score (PRS)?

Your health is influenced by more than just lifestyle choices. Your genes play a crucial role in determining your risk for various diseases. The Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) Test helps you understand how your genetic makeup influences your long-term health by analyzing multiple genetic markers. Unlike traditional tests that focus on just one gene, PRS looks at a combination of genetic factors to give you a more complete picture of your health risks. It’s a proactive and personalized way to learn about your predisposition to common conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer.

The Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) is a measure that determines an individual's genetic predispositions. It allows us to assess disease risks by combining many genetic variants. Thus, personalized preventive health strategies can be developed.

With these insights, you can take early steps to protect your health, make smarter lifestyle choices, and even work with your doctor to create a plan that’s tailored just for you. Knowledge is power, understanding your genes gives you the opportunity to take control of your future well-being.

What Does the PRS Test Analyze?

Disease Susceptibility

• Evaluates your genetic risk for chronic diseases, including:
  • Cardiovascular diseases (heart attack, stroke, hypertension)
  • Diabetes & metabolic disorders
  • Neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
  • Cancer risk factors (breast, prostate, colorectal)

Genetic Influences on Health

• Assesses how multiple genetic variants interact to contribute to disease risk
• Helps identify early warning signs before symptoms appear
• Provides insights into how your body responds to external factors like diet, stress, and environment

Personalized Prevention Strategies

• Based on your PRS results, you’ll receive actionable recommendations on:
  • Dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments
  • Personalized exercise plans to lower disease risk
  • Medical screening & early detection plans
  • Medication responses for better treatment options
