COVID-19 Genetic Susceptibility Test
- Genetic susceptibility or predisposition means a person has an increased risk of developing the disease due to their genetic makeup. However, having a genetic predisposition does not mean that you will definitely get the disease, but you are more vulnerable to the specific disease.
- 99.5% of DNA is almost the same among all humans; it is 0.5% that makes each individual unique. Genetic variants or variations are the differences in DNA that make each person’s genome unique. Everyone’s genome contains millions of genetic variants that make each person distinctive. Some contribute to differences between humans, like eye colour and blood type. A small number of variants are linked with susceptibility to infections and diseases.
- Bione COVID-19 Genetic Susceptibility Test detects specific gene variants present in your DNA that can be responsible for making you more sensitive to certain viruses like Coronavirus, HIV, Influenza, etc. If the test result shows that you are more susceptible to viruses, you will be provided genetic counselling.
Anyone should take Bione COVID-19 Genetic Susceptibility kit if theywant to
- Know about the gene variants which can make you more susceptible to Coronavirus
- Avail personalized genetic counselling to get insights of your health & fitness

COVID-19 Microbiome kit
Scientific studies have proved that the gut microbiome plays a crucial role in the body’s immune response to diseases and maintaining health. In the case of Coronavirus, a healthy gut also helps to prevent severe immune responses to the virus that can cause serious damage to the lungs and other vital organs. These potentially dangerous immune reactions to Coronavirus can cause respiratory failure and death. A balanced or healthy gut Microbiome can not only save you from viruses but also reduce the severity of infections and diseases.
BIONE Microbiome kit analyses the diversity and abundance of microorganisms in your gut. Your immunity to diseases and pathogens depends on the balance of these microorganisms in your intestine. If your test result shows, you have gut dysbiosis (imbalance of microbes) you can avail personalized diet recommendations to improve your gut balance. This will help in improving your health and fighting Coronavirus.
