St. Marc Medical and Diagnosis Center is proud to announce the launch of its Genetic Risk Score (GRS) testing service an advanced tool in predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine. This innovative test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze an individual’s genetic profile and estimate their predisposition to a wide range of health conditions.

Unlike traditional genetic tests that detect the presence or absence of a single gene mutation, Genetic Risk Score analysis examines hundreds of thousands of genetic markers across the entire genome. By comparing this information to data from large, healthy population groups, the test offers powerful insight into potential future health risks allowing patients and clinicians to act before disease develops.

A New Era of Predictive and Preventive Medicine

The field of genetic risk assessment is rapidly expanding, giving individuals the ability to understand and manage long-term health outcomes more effectively. When interpreted by specialized physicians, this genetic information can guide preventive strategies that may help modulate gene expression and support healthier living.

Benefits of Genetic Risk Score Testing

• Early awareness of personal health vulnerabilities before symptoms appear.

• Opportunity to avoid negative lifestyle factors based on individual risk (such as specific foods, habits, or environmental exposures).

• Ability to enhance positive health inputs, including targeted nutrition and preventive therapies.

• Personalized healthcare planning with detailed consultation and interpretation by a certified genetics expert in the United Kingdom, 
  Dr. Shafic Kaidbey (AUB-MC graduate).
• More precise and efficient preventive strategies, focused on conditions with potential future impact.

Test Procedure

The Genetic Risk Score test is simple, noninvasive, and does not require a blood sample. 
A cheek swab is collected in-clinic, after which the DNA is extracted and sequenced. 
Over 700,000 genetic locations are analyzed using next-generation sequencing technologies and compared with international reference data.

To ensure accessibility, St. Marc Medical and Diagnosis Center offers this test at a price specifically adjusted for the local population significantly more affordable than equivalent services in Europe or the United States.
