Scientific research linking genomic mutations to health properties is now growing faster than any one person can keep up with. N.A.G. is the solution, a precision medicine platform that uses AI to translate the latest scientific research into real clinical utility.
Traditional DNA tests suffer from many problems, including: 1) the scientific basis of their results is sometimes questionable, 2) there is not enough medical insight for relatively healthy patients, and 3) there is often little a doctor can do to mitigate a patient's medical problem, if one is found.
N.A.G. has created a suite of technologies that overcome these limitations:
N.A.G. is potentially for everyone — not just those who have illness. In fact, a significant percentage of patients who take our test receive a life changing report: they learn they have a mutation strongly linked to a disease. Armed with this information, you as the physician can then potentially recommend increased screening, diet and lifestyle adjustments, or other steps to promote wellness. Another valuable benefit for almost any patient are genomically derived guidelines for medication selection and dosing.
Approximately 10% of us have a rare medical condition. (This may be counterintuitive, but the reason is because there are 1000s of rare conditions.) Most rare conditions are not immediately life threatening, and discovering that your patient has something rare could answer important questions about their health. It may explain their symptoms, and it could enable you to manage their health better. We have helped doctors solve some of their toughest patients (e.g. fatigue, migraine, pain, autoimmune problems, gastrointestinal problems, unusual sensitivities, brain fog, dysautonomia, etc.).
While of course many oncologists order our test, many internists order our test for cancer evaluation as well. If your patient has a personal or family history of cancer, it can be valuable to understand where that cancer comes from: it can lead to more accurate risk stratification, an individualized screening protocol, if special foods or environmental factors can reduce their risk, and even novel therapies. Importantly, whereas cancer gene panels look at just 2-80 genes, ours is the only test to examine all 1000+ "tumor suppressor" genes.
Genomics is even more powerful when multiple family members get tested, because it gives a fuller picture of how specific genomic mutations influence medical problems. Children who inherited those mutations can fully understand their risk and have plenty of time to undertake mitigation strategies. Moreover, just because two parents are healthy does not mean their children face no genetic risk. In fact, a person generally carries numerous genetic defects that do not impact their own health but could combine with their partner's DNA to produce major diseases for their kids.
More than 700 doctors across the US, Europe, and Asia use N.A.G. Here is what some of the best of the best say about us:
As a Family Medicine physician, I value actionable data when deciding on testing and when counseling my patients. New Amsterdam Genomics scientific based expertise has allowed me to inform, educate and often times reassure my patients based on their genetic testing results. Using their online resources, tools and actionable insight through data, helps my patients receive the most individualized care available / possible. NAG has truly allowed me to redefine the letters PCP. I can now honestly say that I'm a Personalized Care Physician.
New Amsterdam Genomics exome sequencing is the beginning of the future standard in which patients will have a genetic blueprint to help guide them and their physicians in day to day choices as well as customized plans for the prevention of illness. Beyond the strength of the technology, the ongoing revision of relevance for each patient's data on newly published findings in the literature is a particularly appealing feature of their program.
I find that my patients are excited about having their genome analyzed and having it explained to them in a clear and concise manner. We are now able to determine hidden health risks so we can better advise our patients on potentially preventive therapies. And, the ability to learn of pharmacogenetic issues that may guide us to alternative treatment options is priceless. This is one of the best preventive and discovery tools I have at my disposal today.
The experience with NAG in my practice has been entirely positive. Patients are empowered to become more engaged in their health and their future when they have the level of information that is available through genomic testing with NAG.
About us: N.A.G. is led by MDs and PhDs from Caltech, Harvard, Stanford, and Rockefeller.
The doctors who are best able to explain precision medicine to their patients have experienced our test themselves. Therefore, we invite you to get sequenced (at a special doctor rate). As an added incentive, one of our MDs or PhDs will personally walk you through every detail of your results and answer any question you might have. Our goal is to make you fully capable of and confident in incorporating genomics into your own patient care.
We at N.A.G. want to guide you through the new world of precision medicine. Here is how to start:
