1 in 10 American have diabetes. Over 88 million Americans are pre-diabetic. Tesis Biosciences is working with physicians and research organizations to reverse this epidemic by helping to identify people with prediabetes, predict likelihood of diabetes to help prevent type 2 diabetes, identify and prevent diabetes complications, and improve the health of all people with diabetes.
Over 50 million people globally are impacted by dementia. 25% of those over age 55 have a family history of dementia.*
Tesis Labs Parkinson-Alzheimer-Dementia Panel examines 35 genes associated with an increased risk of developing neurodegenerative conditions: Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Genetic disorders that cause dementia.
Pharmacogenomics is the study of genetic variations that influence an individual’s response to medications. Each person responds uniquely to treatment so the same approach may not be effective or may cause adverse side effects in other patients. Understanding this information is helpful to physicians in developing a strategy to optimize drug therapies. Data concerning a patient’s genotype are used to maximize drug efficacy while minimizing adverse drug effects and drug-drug...
Many genetic lung diseases have associated complications involving other organs that, if detected early, can be treated effectively. Early diagnosis is important for preserving lung function. Once a diagnosis of any type of rare lung disease is confirmed, patients will be closely monitored for the development of complications, including lung infection, pneumothorax (collapsed lung), or end-stage lung disease. Earlier diagnosis, leading to earlier initiation of preventative therapies, can...
Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) – A potentially lethal inherited disorder that can cause a severe reaction to certain anesthesia medicine. This condition can result in patients having hypoxemia, hypercapnia, tachycardia, muscular rigidity, acidosis, hyperkalemia, hyperthermia, and the overall inability to wake up after surgery.
Tesis Biosciences offers both an individual connective tissue panel and a comprehensive panel. Inherited connective tissue disorders are frequently caused by an aberration in a gene involved in the structure or function of connective tissue. If no pathogenic aberrations are detected by NGS, deletion/duplication analysis is performed to identify partial or whole gene deletions and duplications in the associated genes.
