treatment for the right diseases.

Why do I need Precision Medicine?

As humans we are all defined by our DNA code, called genetics. We differ by ancestry (race), sex, age, environment and personal health history. Precision Medicine allows us to precisely match each person with the right treatment based on their DNA, and move beyond a “one-size fits all” approach.
 
Precision Medicine is anchored in the unique differences in each person and we have developed SNaP-Shot™, a new tool informed by each patient’s genetic and health information in order to support personalized care.
 
SNaP-Shot helps healthcare providers take the advantage of our genetics – integrated with other standard health information – to deliver the right treatment, for the right disease, in the right patient, at the right time.

How It Works

1

Talk To Your Doctor

Talk to your care provider to see if genetic testing may be helpful for your care. If appropriate, they can place an order using our secure online portal.

2

Create Profile

After the order has been placed, you will receive an email invitation to complete registration for testing.

3

Collect DNA

A DNA collection kit will be shipped to your home.

4

Receive Results

Once you send us your sample, we will conduct your genetic analysis. The results will be released to your care provider first, so they can go over the results with you, and then released to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ariel’s comprehensive genetic testing is ordered by a licensed healthcare provider. Talk to your healthcare provider to see if genetic testing may be appropriate for your care.

For Pancreatitis SNaP-Shot

Anyone who has had an attack of acute pancreatitis, especially if they have had more than one attack. In addition, anyone who has signs or symptoms of pancreatic disease such as abdominal pain after eating, chronic diarrhea, abnormal findings on a CT or MRI scan, or an abnormal laboratory test linked to the pancreas. An early evaluation may possibly prevent lengthy and costly evaluations, delayed diagnosis and more complications.

For Pharmacogenomics SNaP-Shot 

Pharmacogenomics SNaP-Shot may be appropriate before a new medication is prescribed, if you have a history of poor drug response or adverse drug reactions, or if you are prescribed multiple medications. It is available as an add-on during the ordering process.

Pancreatitis SNaP-Shot analyzes genes that are related to pancreatitis and its complications, including ABCG8, APOA5, APOB, CASR, CFTR, CLDN2, CTRC, GGT1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, LPL, PRSS1, PRSS1-PRSS2, SLC10A2, SLC26A9 and SPINK1.

Pharmacogenomics SNaP-Shot analyzes data from 27 genes related to drug metabolism (pharmacokinetics) and action (pharmacodynamics), including ABCG2, ADRB1, BCHE, CACNA1S, COMT, CYP2B6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP4F2, DPYD, G6PD, GRK5,  IFNL3, IFNL4, MT-RNR1, MTHFR, NAT2, NUDT15, OPRM1, POLG, RYR1, SCN1A, SLC28A3, SLCO1B1, TPMT, UGT1A1, VKORC1.

After your order is placed, you will receive an email invitation to register for testing through Ariel’s patient portal.

In the patient portal, you will be asked to complete your account registration, consent and pay for testing. Once this is complete, you have the opportunity to answer some questions about your symptoms, your health history and whether anyone else in your family has similar symptoms.

Ariel will send you an easy-to-use and non-invasive DNA collection kit to your home where you will collect your cheek swab sample and send it back to our laboratory for analysis.

Ariel will send a new kit to you to provide a new sample for processing.

Turnaround time for testing is approximately 4-6 weeks from the time your sample is received in our laboratory.
