I wanted to write to share some information about a genetic test for type 2 diabetes risk. This test just recently became available to the medical community in April 2007. The test, called decode T2, looks for a unique genetic marker that has been validated by independent researchers in studies of tens of thousands of people all around the world. DNA Direct, a web-based genetic counseling and testing service, now offers this test to help people determine if they are at increased risk to develop diabetes.
Since this test is so new, we are hoping that you can help us increase awareness. We are offering this test for free to a limited number of people. The process is simple, painless, and only requires a simple cheek swab. As part of the free testing offer, we are interested in learning about your testing experience and sharing your story with others to help increase awareness of this condition.
If you are interested in learning more about this test, please visit www.dnadirect.com and select “Diabetes Risk: deCODE T2TM” from the Tests We offer menu.
If you are interested or have any questions about this new testing option, please feel free to contact me directly at lkessler@dnadirect.com.
