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.
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.
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 person’s disease risk or inborn potential.

By understanding a child's genetic potential, parents can make informed decisions about nurturing and developing specific talents. Identifying genetic markers associated with specific talents and abilities may allow parents to intervene early if necessary. This enables parents to tailor their child's development based on their unique genetic predispositions, maximizing strengths and supporting areas that need improvement. For example, if a child shows a genetic predisposition for musical talent, parents can focus on providing early opportunities for music lessons and exploration.
We offer complimentary 1-hour consultation sessions, which can be conducted online or in-person at our office, based on your preference.
