Genetics: DNA, pharmacogenomics and nutrition tests
Genetics is not a new science, it's evolving!
Because every person has his or her own genetic code, our DNA tests provide an accurate warning of the potential risks and benefits of medication or diet.
Genetic test findings can change lives by empowering people to take control of their health.

Frequently asked questions about genetic testing, pharmacogenomics, and nutrition
Who can receive the report?
Your results will never be shared with a third party without your consent. Whether it's your doctor, your insurer or your family, your consent will always be collected beforehand.
How is my data protected?
Your genetic data is encrypted on multiple levels and stored on Canadian servers that meet or exceed the most stringent security standards. Our SOC2 Type 2 certification is assessed annually by an external auditor to ensure the robustness of our systems. Biron protects access to your genetic data by letting you control who can access your information.
How long are my results valid for?
Since your genetic code doesn't change, the results will be the same whether you take the test at age 7 or age 70. However, science evolves and it's possible that the interpretation of your results will change over time. Periodically, your report will be updated, at no extra cost, when new pharmacogenomic recommendations become available for the genes and alleles already tested. This ensures that you and your healthcare professional benefit from the most advanced scientific information available. Additional fees may apply if further genetic testing is required.
