ACMG Genetic Screening

American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics offers interventional cancer and cardiovascular genetic screening. Modern medicine has proven that all diseases are linked to genes. Discover, prevent, and protect!

Do you wish you had more control over your health?

Fulgent Genetics Screening

ACMG's Interventional Cancer and Cardiovascular Gene Screening is a groundbreaking screening service that provides key insights into your genetic susceptibility to cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Comprehensive Risk Assessment

This test assesses risk factors for various cancers, cardiovascular disease, and other health conditions, including but not limited to:

Breast and ovarian cancer
Aortic aneurysm
Colorectal cancer
Familial hypercholesterolemia
Thyroid cancer
Cardiomyopathy
Arrhythmias
And many more conditions

Family risk assessment

The Relationship Between Genes and Diseases

Understanding how genetic mutations can impact your health and the health of your family.

Disease-Causing Genes

Some gene mutations can cause disease, and these are called "disease-causing genes." These are common childhood genetic diseases. Family members who inherit these genes may also develop the disease.

Common in childhood
Direct disease causation
Family inheritance pattern

Risk Genes

Some gene mutations can increase the risk of disease, known as "risk genes." Commonly seen in adults, they include cardiovascular diseases, hereditary tumors, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and more.

Common in adults
Increased risk, not guaranteed
Preventive measures possible

Family members who inherit these genes are at higher risk of developing the disease, but they aren't necessarily guaranteed to develop it themselves.

The Timing and Significance of Genetic Testing

Understanding when and why genetic testing is crucial for your health journey.

Diagnosis and Treatment

After becoming ill, we conduct diagnosis of related diseases and drug gene testing to assist in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Disease diagnosis
Drug gene testing
Treatment optimization

Prediction and Prevention

When you are healthy, prediction and prevention: Based on common diseases in the family and high-incidence diseases studied, disease risk gene testing is performed to predict personal disease risk and achieve early detection and early intervention.

Understanding Your Test Results

Our test is a risk factor assessment. While the individual tested may not currently be showing symptoms associated with the condition identified, they may be at risk for developing that condition later in life.

Positive Result

A pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant was detected in the individual's DNA. This variant is known to increase the risk of developing a genetic disease.

Management strategies
Family risk factors

Negative Result

No known pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant was detected in the individual's DNA. Although the results may not show an increased risk for the condition, the risk still exists, especially if there is a family history of the condition.

No increased risk detected
General risk still exists
Family history important
Regular monitoring recommended

Professional Interpretation Required

Our test results provide you with valuable genetic information that can be used to assess your possible risk and take appropriate preventative measures at an early stage. It is important that these results are interpreted and discussed with your healthcare professional to develop a personalized care plan and management strategy.
