Propensity Test

Discover the Bacteria Behind Chronic Illness with the DNA Connections Propensity Test

If you’ve been managing unexplained symptoms or chronic conditions without clear answers, the DNA ConneXions Propensity Test can help reveal a hidden contributor: oral bacteria linked to systemic disease. This powerful at-home test identifies 19 microbial species known to play a role in inflammation, immune disruption, and serious health issues, giving you the insights you need to take control of your health.

Understand What’s Really Behind Chronic Symptoms

Scientific studies have shown strong connections between oral bacteria and a wide range of chronic health problems, including:

• Cardiovascular disease
• Diabetes
• Colorectal, breast, and pancreatic cancers
• Respiratory conditions
• Cognitive decline
• Pregnancy complications

These bacteria often begin in the mouth, especially within periodontal (gum disease) pockets, and can spread to other parts of the body silently contributing to long-term health concerns.

What The DNA ConneXions Propensity Test Detects

The Propensity Test identifies 19 key bacterial species commonly linked to Periodontal Disease, Chronic inflammation, immune system dysregulation, various cancers risk, and more. They are:

Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans – linked to issues with cardiovascular disease/health, metabolic health, diabetes, insulin resistance, pregnancy health, cancer development and cancer risk progression, dementia and cognitive health, and respiratory tract infections.

Campylobacter rectus – associated with dementia and cognitive health issues.

Capnocytophaga ochracea – associated with dementia and cognitive health issues.

Dialister pneumosintes – associated with dementia and cognitive health issues as well as respiratory tract infections.

Filifactor alocis – strongly linked to periodontal disease.

Fusobacterium nucleatum ss vincentii – plays a significant role in periodontal disease and systemic infections like colorectal cancer, pregnancy complications, cardiovascular disease, dementia and more.

Fusobacterium nucleatum ss polymorphum – associated with periodontitis, chronic inflammation, colorectal cancer, pregnancy health issues, cardiovascular disease, respiratory tract Infections, dermal, joint, and musculoskeletal health issues.

Fusobacterium nucleatum ss nucleatum – associated with advanced periodontal disease, metabolic health, diabetes, insulin resistance, pregnancy health, cancer development, dementia, respiratory tract infections and dermal, joint, and musculoskeletal health.

Porphyromonas gingivalis – associated with cardiovascular disease, metabolic health issues, diabetes, insulin resistance, pregnancy health issues, cancer development, dementia and cognitive health issues, respiratory tract infections, periodontal disease, dermal, joint and musculoskeletal health issues.

Prevotella intermedia – strongly associated with periodontal disease and gingivitis. Linked to cardiovascular disease, pregnancy health issues, dementia and cognitive health issues.

Prevotella nigrescens – linked to aggressive periodontal disease and oral biofilm formation as well as pregnancy health issues.

Staphylococcus aureus, Stapylococcus warneri – has been associated with periodontal infections, cardiovascular disease, respiratory tract infections, dermal, joint, and musculoskeletal health issues.

Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus intermedius – has been associated with periodontal infections, cardiovascular disease, respiratory tract infections, dermal, joint, and musculoskeletal health issues.

Streptococcus mitis – associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer development, respiratory tract infections, dermal, joint and musculoskeletal health issues.

Streptococcus mutans – primary cause of tooth decay and linked to cardiovascular disease, respiratory tract infections, dermal, joint and musculoskeletal health issues.

Tannerella forsythia – strongly linked to periodontal disease as well as cardiovascular disease, metabolic health issues, diabetes, insulin resistance, pregnancy health issues, cancer development, dementia and cognitive health issues.

Treponema denticola – plays a major role in advanced periodontal disease and is associated with cardiovascular disease, metabolic health issues, diabetes, insulin resistance, and cancer development.

Using advanced PCR technology, the Propensity Test identifies these harmful microbes at a species-specific DNA level, ensuring high accuracy and early detection.

Why Choose the DNA ConneXions Propensity Test

When it comes to protecting your long-term health, knowledge is power. The DNA ConneXions Propensity Test goes far beyond traditional oral health screenings, offering insights that connect your mouth to your entire body.

Detects 19 High-Risk Bacteria

Many oral tests stop at gum disease. This panel identifies microbes linked not only to periodontal conditions, but also to heart disease, diabetes, cancers, cognitive decline, and pregnancy complications.

Advanced DNA Technology

Using PCR (polymerase chain reaction), the Propensity Test identifies bacteria by their DNA, giving you species-specific results with incredible accuracy.

Easy At-Home Testing

With a simple, non-invasive Super Floss method, you can collect your sample comfortably at home, no dentist visit required.

Proactive and Preventive

This test helps you take action before symptoms appear or conditions worsen. Use your results to guide dental care, diet, and lifestyle for long-term wellness.

Trusted by Integrative Health Experts Worldwide

Backed by scientific literature and performed in a CLIA-certified lab, the Propensity Test is a trusted choice for patients and providers who want answers they can rely on.

Why the DNA ConneXions Propensity Test Stands Above the Rest

Not all microbial or oral health tests are created equal. Here’s why the DNA ConneXions Propensity Test is a smarter, more reliable choice compared to other tests on the market:

Targets Bacteria with Proven Links to Chronic Illness

Many oral health tests only look for basic pathogens associated with gum disease. The Propensity Test goes much further, detecting 19 specific bacterial species backed by research as contributors to systemic conditions.

Unmatched DNA Precision with PCR Technology

The DNA ConneXions test uses Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to detect bacterial DNA with exceptional sensitivity and specificity, down to as few as 1–10 microbes.

You get exact, species-level results, not vague bacterial groupings.

Preventive, Not Just Diagnostic

Most competitors are focused on detecting active infections or dental disease. The Propensity Test is designed for proactive health insights, allowing you to detect microbial imbalances before they escalate into more serious conditions.

Science-Backed and Clinically Relevant

The list of bacteria detected was selected based on peer-reviewed medical research linking these microbes to disease progression and systemic inflammation. References include top-tier journals and clinical microbiology studies.

Trusted Laboratory, Transparent Results

DNA ConneXions is a respected name in integrative health testing, with results analyzed by highly trained lab professionals. The report is clear, detailed, and actionable – giving both patients and healthcare providers data they can trust.

Are you serious about understanding how your oral health connects to your overall wellness? The DNA ConneXions Propensity Test delivers deeper insights, more accurate detection, and a clearer path forward than any comparable test on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does the Propensity Test look for?
The test detects DNA from 19 bacterial species known to contribute to periodontal disease and systemic conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and various cancers.

Is the test painful or invasive?
Not at all. You’ll use a piece of dental Super Floss to collect a sample from your mouth. The process is quick, painless, and can be done from the comfort of your home.

Can I do this test without a doctor or dentist?
Yes. This is a direct-to-consumer test, though we encourage you to share results with your healthcare provider for further support.

How accurate is the test?
The Propensity Test uses PCR technology, capable of detecting as few as 1–10 microbes with extremely high specificity.
