One Person Genetics Inc. (OPG)
Rapid advances in the understanding of human genes are creating the new science of Nutrigenomics - the study of the relationship between nutrient intake and how our genes function. One Person Genetics Inc. (OPG), a business unit of One Person Health Inc., is dedicated to the advancement of this new science. Working with leading genetic testing companies and universities, OPH has developed research & development and distribution relationships in order to provide consumers with genetic tests related to nutrition and well being.
All tests developed or sold by OPG must provide useful information to the customer, information on which they can realistically act and which will improve their health prospects. Links between a genetic variation and specific, practical and beneficial lifestyle choices (e.g. diet) must be established and referenced in multiple independent peer reviewed journal articles in the scientific literature in order to be considered by OPG.
One Person Genetics Inc. Mission Statement
One Person Genetics Inc. (OPG) mission is to harness the power of genetics for individuals.
OPG believes that:
|
 Every adult has the right to access information relating to their own health so that they can make informed decisions
Prevention is preferable to cure. OPG will therefore focus on providing information which has been shown to reduce the probability of illness or to reduce the negative impact of illness or associated medical interventions
People are capable of interpreting fairly complex information when it relates to their own well-being
People recognize that scientific advance is a continual process and that information which exists should be made available
Individuals should benefit from information derived from genome research, much of which has been publicly funded
