HEALTH CARE
Healthcare Applications
There are thousands of diseases caused by adverse DNA changes such as cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and mitochondrial disease to name a few. While these diseases are well characterized, it is estimated that 1 in 12 Canadians, or over 3 million of us, possess DNA changes that may adversely affect our health throughout our lives.
​
There is a significant unmet need for DNA sequencing and analysis that the current Canadian healthcare system cannot provide, and Discovery DNA is uniquely positioned to fill that gap.
