deCODE Complete
Analyzes risk factors for more than fifty common diseases and several traits, including all of those for which deCODEhealth offers individual disease tests. deCODE Complete focuses on medical conditions that can either be better prevented through altered lifestyle or that have better treatment outcomes if detected early. It is the most comprehensive genetic scan available for evaluating risk of common diseases. It is not generally reimbursable.
Diseases and conditions covered by the deCODE Complete Scan:
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, ABO Blood Types, Age Related Macular Degeneration, Alcohol Flush Reaction, Alzheimer’s Disease, Asthma, Atrial Fibrillation, Basal Cell Carcinoma, Bitter Taste Perception, Bladder Cancer, Brain Aneurysm, Brain Cancer-Glioma, Breast Cancer, Celiac Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Clopidogrel Response, Colorectal Cancer, Crohn’s Disease, Essential Tremor, Exfoliation Glaucoma, Eye Color, Gallstones, Gout, Heart Attack, Hemochromatosis, Hypertension, Kidney Stones, Lactose Intolerance, Lung Cancer, Male Pattern Baldness, Multiple Sclerosis, Nicotine Dependence, Obesity, Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Peripheral Arterial Disease, Prostate Cancer, Psoriasis, Restless Legs Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Statin Induced Myopathy, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Testicular Cancer, Thyroid Cancer, Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, Ulcerative Colitis, Venous Thromboembolism, Warfarin Metabolism.
Understanding risk is the first step towards protecting your health.
deCODE Complete provides a detailed portrait of genetic risk for many of the most common diseases, as well as an in-depth interpretation of the results for each condition.
The most comprehensive genetic health scan available.
Measuring the most complete set of validated SNPs or other markers in every disease is the key to providing the broadest, most accurate and medically useful results possible. deCODE Complete analyzes more diseases and more SNPs per disease than any similar scan on the market, offering you the most comprehensive results available today.
The majority of the risk factors detected by deCODE Complete have to date been fully validated only in people of European descent and therefore may not have the same significance in people of other continental ancestries.
Most genetic studies of disease risk in the scientific literature have to date been based on populations of European descent, with a growing number of studies in Asian, African and other populations. We reflect the latest findings in all our results, and explain in the description of each disease and product which markers have been validated in different continental ancestries.
Delivering value for money
With deCODE Complete you get the most comprehensive genetic risk scan available, including all of the risk markers in all of the diseases for which deCODE offers individual disease tests, as well as for dozens more. If you are considering ordering three or more of these individual disease tests, we recommend comparing the cost with those of our Complete, Cardio or Cancer scans.
Benefit from the scientific expertise of deCODE genetics.
Another advantage of deCODE Complete is that it is provided by deCODE genetics: the world leader in the discovery of genetic risk factors for common diseases. Your scan is performed by our internationally-renowned teams of scientists, in our own CLIA-and CAP-certified laboratory.
