Protect
Future Generations with "GeneLink"
As
an optional service, we now offer GeneLink, which collects and store,
for 25 years a DNA sample of the decendent. This records your family's
genetic history in a way that could help family members better understand
- and even prevent - illness in future generations.
Many
individuals and their family members are predisposed to different
diseases. This inherited predisposition is contained within DNA. DNA,
the hereditary material of life, is contained in all the genes which
make up who we are.
GeneLink
has created a DNA Banking Service which stores DNA before or after
an individual dies. This DNA can be used to establish whether or not
the disease or disorder that caused death was genetic in origin. And
as researchers continue to identify diseases linked to defective genes,
living family members can use the stored DNA to discover if they are
at risk for certain diseases such as cancer.
DNA
banking shifts the emphasis from diagnosis and treatment to disease
prediction and prevention. It allows future generations to access
their family genetic history. Knowing your family's genetic history
can help save your life or the life of someone you love.
