DNAprint Genomics (DNAG)

On "Signature (TM)"

Seryx, which is based in Montreal Canada and Cherry Hill, New Jersey, invited patients to use its Signature Genetics ™ service to "discover how your genes hold the secret to your well-being." [15] The service, which is available by annual subscription, must be obtained from a doctor who has been trained by the company. The company promises -- based on a genetic blood test and answers to a detailed questionnaire -- "detailed, individualized, practical recommendations on nutrition, lifestyle, and medications -- with actions you can take immediately to improve your well-being and uncover your optimal health." To obtain the service, patients must puchase a membership and pay an annual fee that entitles them to notification when new discoveries pertain to their genetic profile. The Web site offers physicians a "significant practice-building opportunity," but it offers no objective evidence that such practice-building will benefit patients. According to a company spokesperson, the cost of the service depends on how many test "modules" the doctor recommends after interpreting the patient's information. Payment is made to the doctor, with a minimum charge of $500.

The above para was cut and paste from a quack-chaser report. He the author did not feel this was quackery, but was maybe a little before it's time. Not DNAP though.
