Apple offers free genetic tests for its employees

Apple has invited its employees and their families to pass a free genetic test for hereditary diseases. The test is carried out in clinics of the AC Wellness medical network. The company management hopes that the test will let them help their employees to know about potential health problems and take measures to reduce the risk of their development.

The test scans gene mutations that can predict an increased risk of cancer or heart diseases.

“ By offering cutting-edge medical treatments like genetic testing, AC Wellness can help Apple recruit and retain talented employees. In addition, although AC Wellness is technically a separate company from Apple, medical experts have speculated that it could help Apple quietly test new products or ideas without risking leaks. So the group’s partnership with Color could indicate Apple’s broader interest in the space”.

The Color Genomics test covers gene mutations that are connected to cancer and cardiovascular disease. It also includes information about the origin.

Today genetic testing is available to everyone. It requires only the desire of the client. However, it is critically important to obtain not only the results of genetic testing but also its professional interpretation by a geneticist. Such a full-fledged DNA screening can be done in Russia in the first fully localized domestic medical and genetic laboratory EVOGEN.

EVOGEN offers not only tests to determine the risk of cancer but also complete genome sequencing which will provide maximum information about yourself your health and physical data
