Mobile video game provider DeNA Co. said Wednesday it will launch a DNA testing service in mid-August in partnership with a unit at a leading research laboratory.
Called Mycode, the service offers to reveal genetic markers for up to 283 different conditions, including predispositions to 40 types of cancer. It also screens for 25 so-called lifestyle conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Three tests will be available. One that checks for all 283 conditions will cost ¥29,800. A check for 100 conditions is priced at ¥19,800, while a basic test for 35 tendencies, such as obesity and skin type, costs ¥9,800.
