The medical representative and Director, Bentoluene International Health Concept, Ogunleye Toluwalope, has advised Nigerians to make frantic efforts at undergoing safe and effective genetics testing for families with heart and hereditary diseases.
He noted investigating the hereditary roots of some cardiovascular diseases could help patients and their doctors make decisions, identify risks and manage treatment.Toluwalope stated that our genetic information is key to making some of the most important decisions in our lives. There are diseases that we can prevent, and our DNA can help us to identify them.
He asserted: “There is a lot of useful information in this genetic test, allowing you to prevent the transmission of several monogenic diseases to your future children. “Your genetic map will also help your doctor to prescribe the most suitable drugs, because you will know which ones are best for you, based on your genetic predisposition.”
He said umbilical cord tissue once discarded as waste material is now known to be a useful and one of the richest sources of stem cells. Cord blood and cord tissue has been used to treat children with certain blood, regenerative and developmental diseases since 1989.
