Popular Pinoy band, "Parokya ni Edgar," lead singer, Chito Miranda, husband to actress Neri Naig and father to their son, Miguel Alfonso or Miggy has opted to sit onstage to talk about his experience or testimonies about having engaged themselves (his family) to DNA screening that is Plumcare DNA advisor.
PlumcareTM DNA Advisor can help Filipino families detect potentially disease-causing genetic variants, made possible through a thorough analysis of the DNA of each family member. Designed for families of 3 or more, the test relies on cutting-edge sequencing technology and on a wealth of big data to provide meaningful and actionable insights into a family's genetic make-up. Many hereditary diseases can be prevented or managed detected early enough.
He had briefly and enthusiastically talked about how he was convinced to submit themselves to the DNA testing. All he was thinking was the welfare of his family's health. Not just for the present condition but for a lifetime. And that's what Plumcare DNA Advisor is all about. They wanted to help us be aware and mindful of the possible diseases that our kids and future children will have to endure if ever they inherit the relatively common hereditary diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cancer, asthma among others.

Can you imagine how glorifying our life would be if we get to determine or diagnosed early those diseases that in a way we can treat or manage and somehow make a step to prevent the onset of such hereditary diseases. In my own opinion, if only I have the enough funding, and this Plumcare DNA Advisory was available then when I gave birth to my son, I could've also submitted myself into this kind of procedure. I won't mind spending an amount of Php145,000 (for the price of three pax) if all it takes is to having a safe future and peace of mind for a lifetime with my family.

Advances in the field of genetics are accelerating at an unprecedented rate, level of public awareness. In fact, more than 80% of Filipino welcome the idea of genetic screening.
“Awareness of specific genetic variants can enable families to make more informed health choices and even take proactive preventive measures, when and where applicable," said Michael Weiss, Group CEO of Cordlife Group Limited.

Through PlumCare DNA Advisor, families can now be armed with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions about health and lifestyle choices as a family. This knowledge can help in the prevention, monitoring and treatment of potential conditions.
How is DNA sequencing Done?
PlumCare DNA Advisor uses whole Exome Sequencing (wES), which effectively maps out the exact composition or sequence of approximately 20,000 genes where nearly 85% of disease-causing DNA variations are found.
This is done by collecting DNA from adults and children above the age of 6 years old using a saliva tube which is included in the collection kit. Collection from children younger than 6 years old will be done using a swab sponge.
The test specimens are then sent to the high-quality and reliable genetic testing laboratory in the US, where PlumCare is based, with results available within 60 days after receipt of sample by the US Lab. Genetic counsellors are then available to give advice to help you make the necessary lifestyle adjustment or preventive care.
