Genetic Screening Test for Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis DNA Analysis

Osteoporosis is a major public health threat. The National Osteoporosis Foundation describes it as "a debilitating disease that can be prevented and treated." Osteoporosis currently affects 28 million Americans in women and men. The estimated national expense is 13.8 billion per year (38 million each day) and the cost is rising. The ability to take proactive measures can delay the onset or may even prevent Osteoporosis. Researchers have found a gene that may help identify individuals at high risk for osteoporosis. A simple test can determine if someone is at risk. LabSafe is pleased to announce that we now offer a genetic screening test for Osteoporosis genes. Knowing your genetics can help you prevent osteoporosis through early intervention.

Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to become fragile and more likely to break. If not prevented, or if left untreated, Osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks. These broken bones, also known as fractures, occur typically in the hip, spine, and wrist.

Osteoporosis is a preventable disease and the Osteoporosis DNA Analysis can iden­tify if a person is at risk of the disease and help guide them through their available options.
