What you will learn from the results and how it will help you
individuals in Central Europe carry a gene variant that can lead to the development of lactose intolerance during their lifetime. Are you one of them?
of people in China have lactose intolerance in adulthood. This means almost the entire population is lactose intolerant.
Lactose intolerance
Lactose intolerance
Does lactose intolerance affect you too?
Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down and digests lactose, the sugar found in dairy. Insufficient lactase production leads to an inability to break down lactose, resulting in lactose intolerance. Dairy products are a dietary staple for many of us. However, a gradual decrease in lactase production is a natural part of ageing. Approximately 10,000 years ago, a mutation causing lifelong high production of lactase appeared. Today, this mutation occurs in genomes of large percentage of people; in some European regions, it is present in as much as 90% of the population. What about yourself?
How can DNA analysis help me?
Ignoring the signs of developing lactose intolerance can lead to chronic digestive damage. Knowing your genetic predispositions can help you identify the first signs of developing lactose intolerance and take early preventive steps towards improving the quality of your life.

Europeans suffer from severe vitamin D deficiency. What are your predispositions?
40 %
of Europeans have low blood levels of vitamin D. Are you one of them?
80 %
of vitamin D is produced by the skin when exposed to UVB rays from the sun. However, beware of overexposure to the sunlight.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D
The sunshine vitamin we’re probably short of anyway
Do you love sunny days and spending time in the sun? That’s great, as vitamin D is mainly produced by the skin when exposed to UVB rays from the sun. Even though this source of vitamin D is readily available, more than a third of Europeans are vitamin D deficient. The “sunshine vitamin” deficiency can manifest in a number of ways, including depression, hair loss, muscle pain, bone thinning, fatigue and exhaustion, slower wound healing, and joint, bone and back pain.
How can DNA analysis help me?
Lack of vitamin D in the blood can cause many issues. Knowing your genetic predisposition to vitamin D blood levels can help you understand your body better. Based on your predisposition, it is then possible to include vitamin D blood level monitoring in your preventive screenings. Increase your vitamin D intake through diet, supplements, or spending time outside in the sun.
of all cases of diabetes are type 2 diabetes.
is the number of registered diabetes patients in Slovakia, which represents an increase of almost 50% compared to 20 years ago
20 %
of women with gestational diabetes are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

Diabetes—Disease which can be prevented
Diabetes mellitus, commonly known as “diabetes”, is a disease in which the human body is unable to maintain an appropriate level of blood sugar concentration. It is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. There are two basic types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune reaction and is more often present in children and young adults; type 2 diabetes is largely influenced by lifestyle in addition to genetics. Advanced and untreated diabetes poses many risks, for instance, increased likelihood of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, nerve damage and vision loss.
How can DNA analysis help me?
The good news is that type 2 diabetes is preventable. By knowing your genetic predisposition, you can identify your increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and start treating the early stages of diabetes, known as prediabetes. By making the necessary lifestyle changes, you can prevent further worsening of your condition and the progression to diabetes itself. Several studies show that medication reduces the disease risk by 31%, with up to 58% reduction when combined with lifestyle changes.
Our statistics show that the situation in Slovakia is different, with up to 7% of people carrying the Factor V Leiden mutation.
Individuals who carry the Leiden mutation in one variant of the F5 gene have a more than 4x higher risk of developing pathological blood coagulation compared to those who do not carry the mutation at all.
In people who carry the Leiden mutation in both variants of the F5 gene, this risk increases more than tenfold.
Risk of blood clots—Factor V Leiden
Risk of blood clots—Factor V Leiden
Beware of sedentary jobs as well as frequent travel
The Factor V Leiden mutation is an inherited bleeding disorder. It results in an increased tendency to form blood clots (thrombi). People with this predisposition are at a higher risk of developing pathological blood coagulation, which can cause partial or complete blockage of blood supply to vital organs, possibly leading to death. Blood clots most commonly occur in the veins of lower extremities, with the most serious potential complication being pulmonary embolism. The latter is present in up to 1 in 3 cases. This congenital hereditary disorder should not be left unnoticed, especially in people who have sedentary jobs, travel frequently, are overweight or have obesity. Problems can also occur in women who take hormonal contraceptives.
How can DNA analysis help me?
Our genetic test will help discover your individual susceptibility to developing complications related to blood clotting. Knowing these results can help you prevent life-threatening complications, whether by optimising your lifestyle or working with your physician.
Close to 97% of patients in the advanced stages of the disease have an enlarged liver, which can lead to intense pain.
Based on the prevalence, it is estimated that approximately 13–18,000 people in Slovakia might be affected by this disease
Based on the prevalence, it is estimated that approximately 27–35,000 people in the Czech Republic might be affected by this disease
Haemochromatosis
Haemochromatosis
Keep an eye on your blood iron levels
Haemochromatosis is one of the most common genetically determined diseases with a relatively high incidence rate—it is estimated to affect approximately 1 in 300 to 400 people in Europe. This disease develops slowly, the accumulation of iron is gradual, which is why the condition usually manifests only after the age of 40. It is tied to a wide range of diseases and organ damage, with liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, diabetes mellitus and cardiomyopathy with subsequent heart failure being the most common in patients with untreated haemochromatosis.
How can DNA analysis help me?
The occurrence and progression of haemochromatosis symptoms are fundamentally influenced by early diagnosis. However, due to non-specific symptoms, the disease is often diagnosed too late. A test from ERA DNA can help you detect this potential health issue, or give you the answer to the question whether your offspring may be at risk. Early treatment is highly effective and can completely halt organ damage, allowing the patient to lead a full life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The sampling kit you purchase is not linked to your name or email. This allows you to gift the DNA test to your mother, grandmother, brother, or anyone. The gift recipient collects the sample following the instructions and returns the sample free of charge from their own address using the prepaid courier.
The DNA Entry test focuses on predispositions that everyone should know about. This test will give you information on the most basic and frequently occurring conditions like hypertension or myocardial ischaemia. You will get to know your athletic profile and predisposition to intolerances. Start getting to know your DNA gradually and benefit from the option to expand your results later. Find all the areas analysed in the DNA Entry Test under the “What the analysis contains” section, by clicking on each category on this page.
The collected sample is sent anonymously, marked only by the sampling kit ID code, to our certified partner laboratory in Denmark. In the laboratory, the DNA is isolated from the sample, which is then analysed using a genotyping process in which selected polymorphisms (700,000 sites within the DNA) are observed. You can learn more about the entire process on our blog. The output of the laboratory analysis is a data file (RAW data), which we then process using our evaluation system based on scientific research findings. We evaluate the data in-house in Slovakia, still using only the anonymous sampling kit ID code.
The laboratory staff destroy the sample within 30 days of completing the analysis. The data obtained on the individual polymorphisms are sent to our company and subsequently erased from the laboratory database within 30 days. As the sample passes through the laboratory identified only by the barcode ID on the sampling kit, the staff have no way of knowing whose sample they are analysing. Our customers’ personal information never leaves our company.
No. DNA ERA does not share any data with third parties or other companies without the customer’s consent. Only the customer has access to the results, via their account on our website. The customer can ask us to erase the results from the database at any time. DNA ERA only aggregates data for the purpose of further statistical processing, and always in an anonymised form.
Complete information on the sample return process can be found by logging into your customer account in the DNA ERA web application. To ensure proper sample delivery, please follow the instructions provided in the application only.
The sampling kit has a guaranteed lifespan of several months. The stabilising solution in the sampling kit will stabilise the sample for several months after collection. You can order the DNA test and do it later, or order it in advance as a gift, give it to your loved one, and they can then do the sample collection and send it.
You will find the step-by-step procedure on how to register the unique ID on your sampling kit in the instructions for sample collection included with each DNA test. If you do not register your sampling kit, we will be unable to link it to your account, and therefore unable to analyse it. If that happens, upon your request, we will ship you a new sampling kit for a fee of €50.
