About
Consumer Genetics, Inc. Consumer Genetics,
Inc. is a leader in the newly emerging industry of direct-to-consumer
genetic testing services. The Company offers a growing line
of products, enabling consumers to seek an affordable over-the-counter
test which allows them to plan ahead, prepare for life changing
events, and address specific lifestyle choices. These DNA
tests are based on individual’s genetic profile and
provide information on how the consumer can adjust lifestyle
to a particular issue; whether it involves how to plan for
a newborn baby boy or girl, or how altering caffeine or alcohol
consumption might mitigate health risks.
The
Company has been marketing its first product to a global market
since May 2006. The PINK or BLUE® Early Gender Test is
a ‘first of its kind’ test. The product is poised
for a position as an over-the-counter pregnancy test with
optional gender detection kit, for women trying to get pregnant.
It enables the mother-to-be to determine the sex of the unborn
child as early as seven weeks, post-conception. Until recently,
expectant mothers usually waited at least five months into
their pregnancy before they could rely on an ultrasound to
ascertain the gender of their child. In addition, ultrasounds
are only about 80% accurate and often must be repeated multiple
times in order to confidently determine the child’s
gender. The revolutionary PINK
or BLUE® Early DNA Gender Test is dependent
on fetal DNA found in the mother's blood. It permits much
earlier detection than an ultrasound, and enables sample collection
in the privacy of one’s own home. Neither a visit to
the physician nor a physician’s prescription is required
for testing in most areas. In 2008, Consumer Genetics bundled
the gender test with a pregnancy test kit, which is now being
sold from national retailers such as Rite Aid, Drugstore.com,
and Amazon.com.
The PINK or BLUE® Early DNA Gender Test is the first
of a continuing series of affordable and accessible genetic
tests designed by Consumer Genetics, Inc. to assist consumers
with enhancing the quality of their lives by utilizing recent
genetic discoveries.
