Frequently Asked Question


Before You Purchase

DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid in long, is present in almost every cell in your body. It is made up of repetitive units of nucleotides composing of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base that can be either adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), or thymine (T). DNA contains all necessary information to build and maintain an organism. Although there is only around 0.1% difference between your DNA as compared to the stranger sitting next to you, this small variation contributes to significant differences including skin colour, height, intelligence, personality, and even disease risk.

SNPs, single nucleotide polymorphisms in long, is the variation of nucleotides at one position in a DNA sequence among individuals. SNPs are one of the major factors that lead to the 0.1% difference among people.

DNA testing is a powerful tool for prediction of a person’s traits. It analyses genetic variations such as SNPs, which are the most common type of genetic variation among people to make predictions about a persons’ disease risk or intelligence. Using a non-science approach to explain SNPs, just like how replacement of ‘s’ with ‘b’ totally changes the meaning of this sentence: ‘I am sad’, to ‘I am bad’, SNPs alter the physical and chemical characteristics of its product, protein. Protein plays a big role in our body. It involves biological processes such as digesting the eggs you ate this morning, transporting oxygen from your lung to your toes, and coordinating your eyes and your brain so that you can understand this explanation. SNPs can cause no effect, mild changes to severe consequences. A classic example of defective SNP is sickle cell anaemia. Polymorphism of adenine nucleotide at the haemoglobin beta (HBB) gene results in sickle shaped red blood cells that have reduced efficiency in carrying oxygen.

Using the most advanced US technology, our DNA testing analytical validity is 99.9 %.

We provide a complimentary virtual consultation session to help you understand your results well with our experienced consultant team.

We provide a one-time free replacement in the event if your child’s sample fails to meet our lab requirements. However, if the second attempt to process the second sample is still unsuccessful, Absolute Genetic Technologies will not send additional sample collection kits and you will be entitled to a complete refund of the amount paid to Absolute Genetic Technologies, less shipping and handling, provided you shall not resubmit another sample through a future purchase of the service.

Kindly ensure that no food or drink are to be consumed 1 hour before collecting the sample.

Your child’s report will be ready in 4-6 weeks. You will receive a notification when the report is ready for viewing on your account.

Yes, it is. We will link your saliva sample to a specific sample ID that is identifiable to your saliva sample once you have filled in our registration form upon purchasing. This is to ensure that your DNA profile can only be accessed by you and that your privacy is protected. Until the registration is completed and consent form is signed, your DNA sample won't be processed.

DNA sample collection will be done at our office located in Wisma UOA II Kuala Lumpur with the presence of your child/children. Alternatively, you may collect your child's sample at home using our at-home DNA test kit. In order to ensure the highest quality of the sample, you are advised to not consume any food or drink (except mineral water) two hours before sample collection.

Once the saliva sample is collected, samples will be sent to our accredited lab in Singapore. All DNA extraction and genotyping are performed in an international accredited lab in Singapore and to date, our lab partner has processed close to 1,000,000 DNA samples.

Step 1 → DNA sample will be collected non-invasively through saliva using a buccal swab. Unlike blood withdrawal, this method is painless, side-effect free, fast and convenient.

Step 2 → DNA samples will be sent to a genomic lab in Singapore for extraction and genotyping. By using the most advanced genotyping chip from Illumina, US technology, the DNA testing has analytical validity as high as 99.9%. The DNA result will be analyzed by our bioinformaticians with extensive experience in human genetic research. The DNA result will be examined based on the Asian population to increase the reliability. Up to date, we have over 27,000 Asians reference databases to ensure accurate result analysis and interpretation.

Step 3 → DNA report will be delivered via the app. Our specialist will be more than glad to assist you in understanding your child’s comprehensive genetic insights and results interpretation.

Step 4 → Parents can now apply personalised and positive parenting approaches tailored to your child’s uniqueness. You will be connected with experts to plan the most-suited development plan for your child based on their genetic makeup!

Our genetics tests are suitable for individuals of all ages. In the case of talent, you can get a genetic testing for your child to understand his/her genetic inborn potential for parents to be able to apply personalized and positive parenting plans for your child's best development. In the case of health, you can get a genetic test to be aware of your or your child's genetic risks to certain diseases.
