Fertify is a groundbreaking genetic test designed to assess a woman’s risk of early menopause and age-related infertility. This test provides valuable insights into reproductive aging, offering personalized recommendations to support informed family planning and fertility preservation.

Who Should Consider the Fertify Test?

Women of any age, ideally before their late thirties, when age-related fertility decline accelerates.
Women planning infertility treatments, including in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Women considering oocyte (egg) freezing for future family planning.

Why Take the Fertify Test?
Reproductive aging is largely influenced by genetics, with hundreds of DNA variants affecting a woman’s reproductive lifespan. Fertify offers a comprehensive evaluation of these factors, enabling you to make proactive decisions based on your unique genetic risk.

What Does the Test Include?
The results provide tailored guidance on:

Enhancing natural fertility through lifestyle and medical interventions.
Recommended medical examinations and diagnostic tests.
Egg freezing and fertility preservation options.
Assisted reproductive technologies, such as IVF, if necessary.

Key Insights into Female Fertility:

Fertility typically begins to decline 10-20 years before menopause, leading to challenges with conception.
While the average age of menopause is 50-51, approximately 1 in 20 women experience early menopause (before 45), and 1 in 100 face premature menopause (before 40).
Early and premature menopause are significant contributors to age-related infertility, making early assessment critical.

Turnaround Time: 15 working days

Specimen Requirements: Buccal cell sample

Each of us has an internal clock – a biological rhythm that determines when we feel most alert and when we need rest. The sleep DNA test helps you understand whether your typical daily routine aligns with your genetically determined internal rhythm — in other words, whether you are more of a morning or evening person — and how this affects your cognitive and physical performance, eating behavior, and metabolism.

Why does this matter?

Your ability to focus and perform at different times of day is governed by your chronotype, which has a significant genetic basis. When your internal biological clock is out of sync with your social or work schedule, your body is constantly forced to adapt — leading to sleep disturbances, fatigue, poor concentration, and increased vulnerability to overeating, alcohol use, weight gain, and mental health issues.

A key factor in regulating your sleep-wake cycle is the PER3 gene (Period Circadian Regulator 3), which affects sleep duration, depth, and circadian rhythm. The rs57875989 marker in this gene occurs in two forms: 4 or 5 tandem repeats (VNTR).

4/4 genotype: more commonly found in evening types, who often struggle with early wake-ups but feel alert later in the day.
4/5 genotype: indicates an intermediate chronotype, with flexibility to adapt to both early and late schedules.
5/5 genotype: typically found in morning types, who tend to wake up early and are most productive in the first half of the day.

These genetic variations are associated with overall sleep structure, daytime sleepiness, and an increased risk for Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS).

What does the test reveal?

Whether you are genetically a morning, evening, or intermediate chronotype
How sustained wakefulness affects Your reaction time and environmental awareness
Your genetic risk for Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS)
How Your chronotype impacts eating behavior and metabolism
The optimal time for peak athletic performance
Your sensitivity to external factors that affect mental well-being

How does the testing work?

Sample type: A DNA sample collected from the inside of your cheek using a swab
Processing time: Up to 15 business days
Sampling kit: Delivered conveniently to the address provided in your order

Who is this test for?

The test is suitable for people who want to better understand their well-being in order to improve their health. It’s especially useful for those who:

Feel out of sync with the standard work or social schedules and wish to change their schedule
Experience chronic fatigue, poor concentration, or sleep issues
Want to optimize daily routines or training schedules in alignment with their genetic profile

Individuals with the ε4 genotype recover from brain injury much more slowly, have an increased danger of postoperative complications in cognitive functions, and also have a much worse general prognosis. The ε4 genotype is also associated with an elevated risk of late onset Alzheimer’s disease and coronary heart disease.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye condition and a leading cause of vision loss in individuals over 60. This condition arises from damage to the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central, and color vision.

AMD often begins subtly, with some cases progressing slowly without noticeable symptoms, while others advance more rapidly, potentially leading to vision loss in both eyes. As the condition worsens, patients experience a gradual loss of sharp central vision. AMD exists in two forms: “dry,” which accounts for approximately 90% of cases, and “wet.”

Why Test for AMD Risk?
Early detection of AMD risk is essential for effective prevention and management. Identifying an increased genetic predisposition allows for timely interventions that can delay disease progression and help preserve vision.
