While determining your exact genetic makeup through genetic testing is important, how that data is analyzed and presented to you is truly what makes the information invaluable. Genetic analysis is the process of interpreting the meaning of the information obtained through genetic testing so that you and your doctor are able to act upon it.

For the past several years, the majority of Dr. Colby’s work has been focused on advancing the field of genetic analysis. The result is a new, more advanced way to analyze and convey genetic information so that it is as useful as possible to both you and your physician.

Dr. Colby’s innovative genetic analysis approach focuses on empowering you and your physician over disease. He believes that by testing large components of a person’s genetic makeup all at one time and then analyzing only the most important and relevant genetic information via Panel screening, Disease Matrix technology, Reflex analysis, and next-generation Genetic Reports, individuals and their health care providers will be able to take the actions required to limit the individual’s risk for contracting, and/or significantly decrease the potential impact and severity of, a wide range of diseases.

Dr. Colby’s genetic analysis approach allows him to "cast a wide net" without inundating you or your physician with insignificant information. In Outsmart Your Genes, Dr. Colby describes why each of these technologies significantly increases the value of genetic information and shows through easy-to-understand examples how they can help protect you against disease.
