Imagine doing everything “right.” You eat reasonably well, you stay active, you don’t smoke. And yet, your cholesterol stays stubbornly high—sometimes very high. For many people, this isn’t about willpower or lifestyle. It’s about genetics.

Wellness DNA tests have become incredibly popular. With a simple saliva sample, you can receive reports that claim to reveal everything from your ideal diet to your fitness “type,” vitamin needs, and even some health risks.

Today, something remarkable is happening in hospitals and clinics around the world: doctors can read nearly all of a person’s genetic instruction manual in days or sometimes even hours.

What Is Carrier Screening and Who Should Consider It?
A carrier is usually healthy and has no symptoms, but can still pass a non-working gene copy to their child. Read more at geknowmics.karkinos.in/2026/01/16/w...

Pharmacogenomics is the study of how your genes affect the way your body responds to medicines. In simple terms, it helps explain why the same drug can work well for one person, cause side effects in another, and do very little for someone else.

Whole genome sequencing now costs less than a smartphone, reads 3B letters, and flags disease risk years early. Surprise: your DNA is stable—medicine isn’t.

Whole Genome Sequencing benefits everyone.
It uncovers genetic risks, predicts treatment responses, and enables evidence-based prevention. More than a test, it is a once-in-a-lifetime resource that can guide truly personalized care across your entire lifespan.

Making A Case for Genomic Newborn Screening in India
Almost 1 in 250 children born each year in India has a treatable genetic disease. Genetic screening at birth is nonexistent in public healthcare system

Chemotherapy is a double edged sword and while effective against a number of cancers, and often the first line of therapy in many, can cause significant genetic mutations in healthy cells, and sometimes increased risk of new cancers over a long time.

Whole-genome sequencing of 2,762 Indians has unravelled the layers of ancestry, high intermixing with Neanderthals and Denisovans. This along with high endogamy in India could potentially result in harmful mutations in some groups.

💔 New research from the All of Us Program reveals that 1.2% of South Asians carry key cardiomyopathy gene variants and this is almost 50% more than the frequency in people with European or African ancestry and more than double the frequency in people with East Asian ancestry
