Which genetic variations are tested and why/how did you chose these variations and not others?

Question

Accepted Answer

Based on a comprehensive review of existing scientific literature, using stringent selection criteria by a team of nutritional and genetic experts, 7 genetic variations have been selected for this genetic test. Only those variations that were associated with specific metabolic traits regarding fat and carbohydrate sensitivity, calorie reduction and physical activity have been included into the review*. All outcomes have been replicated in at least three clinical studies to ascertain the product concept. The 7 genetic variations included in this genetic test are:

FABP2 rs1799883
PPARG rs1801282
ADRB2 rs1042714
ADRB3 rs4994
FTO rs9939609
APOA2 rs5082
APOA5 rs662799

*7 genetic variations have been selected for this genetic test. Only those variations that were associated with specific metabolic traits regarding fat and carbohydrate sensitivity, calorie reduction and physical activity have been included in the review. After genetic test analysis you will be allocated to one of five nutrition groups and ne of three exercise groups.
