Smoking cessation DNA test
Smoking causes lung cancer. The smoking shortens life and significantly alters the structure of the heart muscle. The NICOTINAgenes profile is an aid to avoid these consequences, in a personalized way.
Approximately 70% of smokers want to give up their addiction, 30% try it every year but unfortunately only 2-3% succeeds.
NICOTINAgenes provides valuable information on the most appropriate way to approach personalized smoking cessation therapy.
Biochemical processes of the brain, subject to individual genetic variability, are especially important to establish personalized smoking cessation therapy.
The level of addiction and the risk of relapse is determined by the dopamine that is released when smoking and its effect on the brain. Dopamine is the substance that produces pleasure and addiction.
The persistence of dopamine in the brain depends on the speed with which it is eliminated and its activity varies depending on the genetics of each person.
The speed that the body eliminates nicotine is an index to find out which treatment is most appropriate: pharmacological or psychological support.
Nicotine dependence is 60% genetic cases. By studying genetic variants, you can determine the degree of nicotine addiction, as well as the most appropriate psychological or drug guideline.
Before prescribing, it is advisable to study the genetic polymorphisms, in order to administer the dose and the most convenient treatment for each person.
The NICOTINAgenes profile, studies genetic polymorphisms in genes involved in the metabolism of nicotine, the action of nicotine on brain receptors, dopamine metabolism which is the substance produced by the action of brain that produces addiction to nicotine.
Studying the genetic polymorphisms of each patient, smoking cessation treatment can be personalized, getting adequate information on the rate of elimination of nicotine, the intensity of its action, metabolism of dopamine and therefore the level of risk of dependence or relapses, and also the level of psychological support needed by each person.
NICOTINAgenes is indicated for people who want to quit smoking, mitigating the effects of withdrawal and nicotine addiction.
