BackDiagnosis of genetic diseases in the OLYMP CDL
Medicine and Science doesn't stay in the same place, and as they develop, the number of "white spots" in the diagnosis and treatment of patients is gradually decreasing. One of the areas that has developed rapidly in recent years is molecular diagnostics. This is an industry that allows the study of genetic diseases. Thanks to numerous studies, it has become known that the number of genetic diseases is much higher than previously thought. Many heart diseases, various malformations, neurological abnormalities, as it turned out, have a genetic nature. We are talking here specifically about genetic diseases (not predispositions), i.e. conditions that have arisen as a result of mutation in one or more genes.
According to statistics, in the United States, up to a third of neurological patients are in hospitals as a result of genetic disorders.
What can knowledge about the genetic nature of the disease give? It should be understood that knowledge of the genetic nature of the disease is not useless, because such a disease is not a sentence. And establishing the cause of its occurrence should be considered as a way to find the right direction for the treatment and correction of the disorder.
Today, some diseases are successfully treated, while for others, a geneticist can offer more effective methods of therapy that will significantly improve the quality of life of a child. For example, diseases such as phenylketonuria, leucinosis, the genetic nature of which has recently been established, can be successfully corrected with early diagnosis. This allows you to negate their manifestations in the baby and avoid adverse consequences. The number of diseases that can be treated and corrected is steadily increasing, which is good news.
Unfortunately, medicine and science in our country lags far behind in matters of molecular diagnostics. And until today, the diagnosis of these diseases required a mandatory trip abroad, which, of course, is very inconvenient and expensive. But OLYMP CDL, being the leader in the market of laboratory diagnostics in Kazakhstan, is constantly expanding the range of performed tests, and strives to provide all residents of our country with modern research at the global level. So, from now on, molecular diagnostics of genetic diseases has become available for patients of OLYMP CDL. To date, the diagnosis of one and a half thousand different genetic diseases is at your service, and this is only the first stage. In the future, this direction will develop, and the range of tests will expand. So follow our news so you don't miss it!
To get tested for genetic diseases, you can contact any treatment room of the OLYMP CDL, of which there are more than 180 in Kazakhstan.
