Mapmygenome, a molecular diagnostics solutions company, has launched Sugargene, a personal genomics test, that helps understand the genetic risk of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Priced at Rs 2,999, the test analyses DNA for genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes and obesity. It would also suggest preventive measures and treatment options, Anu Acharya, Chief Executive Officer of Mapmygenome, said here on Friday, while announcing the launch of the product.
"Most of us have at least one person in the family suffering from diabetes and have seen how it painfully attacks the rest of the body. Diabetes is preventable but intervention must be done early," she said.
