Diagnostic Tests
InquiryOverview
A diagnostic test is a genetics-based personalized health test designed to reveal genetic factors associated with obesity by analyzing an individual's genetic information. These tests help understand how genetic factors affect weight gain, fat distribution, and how easy it is to manage weight. The test focuses on genetic influences on fat metabolism and storage, appetite control, assessing genes related to energy expenditure, and analyzing an individual's genetic response to different weight management strategies (such as diet and exercise) to find the best weight management approach for them. By understanding this information, genetic diagnostic testing for obesity can provide targeted dietary recommendations and lifestyle adjustments to help individuals develop a scientifically effective weight management plan. It will not only reveal the role of genetic factors in the development of obesity but also provide individuals with tailored interventions to support long-term health and weight management goals.
Unlock Your Fitness Potential with Personalized Diagnostic Tests
Protheragen's commitment to obesity-related research is reflected in our comprehensive approach to developing cutting-edge anti-obesity therapies. Our research encompasses a wide range of important areas, including the Development of New Therapeutics for anti-obesity based on different targets. These targets include but are not limited to Hormones and Peptides, Receptors, Enzymes and Proteins, Metabolic Regulators, and Signaling Molecules. In addition to identifying potential therapeutic targets, we also prioritize the promotion of research and development for Anti-Obesity Therapies and conducting Preclinical Studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of potential treatments.

Based on the additional research, we offer a wide range of services to our clients including but not limited to, Obesity Causation Analysis, diagnostic tests, Obesity Prediction, Obesity Biomarker Identification and Analysis, Targeted Editing for Obesity Genes, and Obesity Microbiota Research Service. The diagnostic tests we provide are as follows.
We use the above diagnostic tests to provide you with genetic information in the following areas:
DNA Weight Loss Test
Our team prioritizes the delivery of accurate and reliable DNA weight loss test service, ensuring that clients make informed decisions about their health and fitness goals.
Weight Management DNA Test
With a global reach, we strive to cater to individuals from all walks of life, offering personalized weight management DNA test services tailored to their specific requirements.
DNA Nutrigenetics Testing
Our dedication to effectiveness and dependability drives us to continuously improve our services and stay at the forefront of advancements in providing DNA nutrigenetics testing services.
- Fat Metabolism and Storage
This is achieved through the identification of genetic variations linked to the metabolism and storage of fat, which could impact the fat processing and storage mechanisms of the body. The comprehension of this genetic data assists in determining individuals' reactions to various diet and exercise plans.
- Appetite Control
We analyze the genes that influence appetite and satiety to reveal how genetic factors affect food intake and dietary preferences. This helps to develop a personalized diet plan for better weight control.
- Energy Expenditure
We optimize exercise regimens by assessing genes associated with energy expenditure to help understand how individuals expend energy at rest and during exercise.
- Weight Responsiveness
Individual's genetic response is analyzed to different weight management strategies (e.g., diet, exercise) to find the most appropriate weight management method for clients.
Workflow
The workflow of our diagnostic tests is as follows.
Applications
- By analyzing genetic factors related to fat metabolism, appetite control, energy expenditure, etc., the test can provide targeted recommendations to optimize diet and exercise patterns and improve weight management.
- Diagnostic tests help develop more effective weight management strategies by understanding an individual's genetic characteristics.
- By understanding genetic predisposition to obesity, diagnostic tests can help take preventive measures in advance to reduce the risk of obesity-related diseases.
Advantages
- We have advanced sequencing technology and equipment to provide high-precision diagnostic tests on obesity genes. These techniques can ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results.
- We have an extensive genetic database covering various genetic markers associated with obesity. By accessing these databases, we provide more comprehensive genetic analysis results, increasing the depth and breadth of testing.

Results: This article mainly discusses the genetics of human obesity. The article mentions treatment options for obesity including lifestyle changes, medication, and obesity surgery. Genetic factors are not only risk factors for obesity but also affect response to weight loss treatments. With the development of GWAS and NGS, more is being learned about the monogenic and polygenic causes of obesity. The genetics of obesity can be divided into syndromic obesity and non-syndromic obesity. The article also mentions some genes that are linked to obesity, such as leptin (LEP), leptin receptor (LEPR), promelanocyte-stimulating hormone (POMC), prohormone convertase 1 (PCSK1), melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), single thought homolog 1 (SIM1), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophic tyrosine excitation.
Frequently Asked Questions
For whom is the obesity genetic diagnostic test intended?
The obesity genetic diagnostic test is suitable for people who wish to understand the influence of genetic factors on weight management, especially those who have experienced poor results from traditional weight loss methods. Both the general population and those with specific health problems can consider this test.
How are the test results interpreted?
Test results are usually interpreted by a genetic counselor or nutrition expert, who will provide personalized diet and exercise recommendations based on the results. The explanation process helps clients understand how to adjust their lifestyle based on their genetic characteristics.
