Who are Genomics Ltd?
Genomics is a pioneering healthcare company that uses large-scale genetic information to develop innovative precision healthcare tools and bring new understanding to drug discovery. They were formed in 2014 by four world-leading statistical and human geneticists at the University of Oxford. Today, they are collaborating with some of the world’s leading healthcare organisations and helping them to predict, prevent, treat, and cure dramatically reducing the human and financial cost of common diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
What is genomics?
Genomics is the study of genes and their functions, including how they influence health and disease. Genetic risk refers to the likelihood of developing a particular condition based on an individual's genetic make-up.
The Health Insights test and Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS)
Genomics' Health Insights test is the first UK approved test to combine Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) with clinical risks. PRS analyse multiple genetic variants across the genome to estimate an individual's risk for specific diseases. The Health Insights test provides an integrated risk score for Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and Type 2 Diabetes, combining PRS with traditional clinical risk factors. The test also provides a risk score for breast and prostate cancer, depending on sex.
