OSTEOgen
The OSTEOgen test is a genetic analysis that allows for the evaluation, early detection, and treatment of osteoporosis.
ABOUT OSTEOgen
Osteoporosis is a disease that affects bone mass, making it increasingly fragile. Bones are composed of two types of cells: osteoblasts (which are involved in bone construction) and osteoclasts (which are involved in bone resorption). Osteoporosis is characterized by increased activity of osteoclasts.
WHO AND WHEN SHOULD BE TESTED?
The OSTEOgen test was developed by Laboratoires Réunis to analyze an individual’s risk of developing osteoporosis. It is recommended for individuals:
– With a family history of osteoporosis
– Especially for menopausal women, for two reasons: the reduction in bone density and significantly decreased levels of female hormones.
RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION
The OSTEOgen test is based exclusively on genetic analysis conducted using a blood or saliva sample.
– Detailed individual results that are valid for a lifetime
– Identification of genetic predisposition and risk factors, along with the main methods for effectively addressing them
– Personalized recommendations for prevention and treatment.
