Detailed Test Information
What is DNA Oestrogen? Oestrogen hormones affect the growth, differentiation and function of a number of target tissues. Improving oestrogen metabolism is of benefit to women who suffer from oestrogen-dominant conditions such as endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome and uterine fibroids tumours, or where there is a family history of breast, uterine or ovarian cancer, or prostate cancer in men.
The importance of both oestrogen and progesterone in breast cancer development is well established. However, considerable inter-individual variability has been observed in carcinogen metabolism, metabolism of steroid hormones, and phase I and phase II detoxification.
Variations in genes involved in these biological processes help identify a sub-population of women and men with higher lifetime exposure to oestrogens, oestrogen metabolites and other carcinogens.
Understanding an individual’s genetic variability will allow for targeted diet, lifestyle and hormone intervention optimisation.
The results provide unique information to guide personalised diet, lifestyle, hormone and nutraceutical recommendations.
The DNA Oestrogen report has 4 main components:
DNA Oestrogen provides the genotype result of the client and, when there is a variant detected that leads to a change in how it may affect an individual’s oestrogen metabolism and health, a description of the relevance of the variant will be given. Actionable, genotype specific information to intervene appropriately is also given.

The importance of both oestrogen and progesterone in breast cancer development is well established. However, considerable inter-individual variability has been observed in carcinogen metabolism, metabolism of steroid hormones, and phase I and phase II detoxification.
Cumulative exposure to oestrogen has been shown to have a high correlation to the development of breast cancer.
