Joint Sensor

Inflamed joints cause significant problems

Many inflammatory joint diseases can develop even at a young age and severely impact the quality of life for affected individuals.

In severe cases, it may gradually lead to progressive mobility limitations, up to physical disabilities. Since most joint inflammation diseases are unfortunately incurable, early diagnosis is especially important here.

Genetic predisposition for inflammatory joint diseases

Joint inflammation is caused by a misguided immune response. The immune system mistakenly identifies parts of the joint as harmful and begins to attack them.

How high our risk is for developing inflammatory joint diseases is mainly determined by our genetic makeup. Therefore, analyzing the relevant genes in this regard can help assess risks early and take timely preventive action.

How does our Joint Sensor work?

With our Joint Sensor, our lab analyzes the submitted saliva sample for two genetic variations that can contribute to joint inflammation. Additionally, we examine how the genetic profile affects the tolerance and efficacy of 56 common medications.

This genetic test allows us to determine how likely the development of inflammatory joint diseases is and whether preventive measures are necessary.

The analysis results are summarized in a clear report that also provides individual recommendations for action.

In this context, our Joint Sensor can significantly aid in early detection and support genetically predisposed patients in effective prevention.
