DNA Answers Stories
What are people saying about DNA Answers?
St. Luke's launched the community health research study, DNA Answers, in partnership with Helix, a leading population genomics company. At no cost to those that participate in the research, this joint initiative offers access to the latest screening techniques that support what is commonly referred to as precision medicine.
"Through insights gleaned from patients' unique genetic make-up, precision medicine enables 'Individually tailored' health care- from early disease diagnosis to individualized treatment," said St. Luke's Senior Vice President of Clinical Integration, Dr. Aldo Carmona.
See how DNA Answers has helped patients and their families by giving them a detailed picture of their DNA.
