How often do I need to take this test?
Only once. Because your DNA does not change over time, this is a one-time screening that will provide you with lifelong health insights.
What conditions are covered under the Men’s and Women’s Genetic panels?
Using advanced Polygenic Risk Scoring (PRS), these panels identify inherited risks for major cancers (including colon, lung, liver, breast, and prostate) as well as lifestyle conditions (such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes).
What does the Genetic Nutrition Panel cover?
The Nutrition Panel analyzes how your specific genes influence your diet and wellness. It provides actionable insights into your vitamin and mineral absorption, metabolism, food sensitivities (like salt or trans fats), and weight management tendencies.
s this a diagnostic test?
No. NURA’s Genetic Screening is a preventive tool designed to measure genetic susceptibility. It does not diagnose any current illness, but rather identifies potential risks so you and your doctor can focus on early prevention.
Are my genetic test results kept private?
Yes, absolute privacy is our standard. Your genetic data and digital health reports are stored securely and remain strictly confidential between you and the NURA medical team.
What is the NURA Genetic Screening test?
It is an advanced, once-in-a-lifetime blood test that maps your genome to identify your inherited risk for various lifestyle diseases and common cancers. It helps you understand your body’s natural predispositions so you can make informed, proactive health decisions.
How is Genetic Screening different from NURA’s standard AI health screening?
While our standard 120-minute AI health screening uses imaging and lab tests to assess your current health, the Genetic Screening looks at your DNA to understand what conditions you might be predisposed to developing in the future.
Is there an additional charge for the FIT kit or its delivery?
No. The FIT kit, the home delivery service (within city limits), and the laboratory analysis are provided completely free of charge as part of your eligible NURA screening package. However, please note our cancellation policy: If you choose to cancel your appointment after the FIT kit has already been delivered to you, you will be […]
What is the Japanese-style Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)?
The Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) is a highly accurate, non-invasive screening tool used to detect hidden (occult) blood in the stool. At NURA, we utilize a specialized Japanese-style FIT as a primary screening method for colon cancer and other lower gastrointestinal conditions.
Why is the FIT included in my NURA health screening?
Colorectal cancer often begins as non-cancerous polyps that may bleed slightly, long before any visible symptoms appear. The FIT is designed to detect these microscopic traces of blood, allowing for early intervention. It is a vital component of our comprehensive 120-minute preventive screening packages for both men and women.
