What we look at in your DNA file
Six categories, read from the raw genotype file you already have. Each page below says what we look at, which markers it rests on, and — the part most services leave out — what your file cannot show.
-
Medicines
10 medicine groups
How inherited differences change the way people process common medicines, which genes a consumer DNA file covers, and the two that it cannot read reliably at all.
-
Family planning
7 conditions
What being a carrier means, which recessive conditions a consumer DNA file covers, and why a clear result is not an all-clear.
-
Nutrition
7 nutrients
Which nutrition and wellness markers a consumer DNA file covers, how strong the evidence behind them is, and why a blood test still beats a genotype.
-
Fitness
4 areas
What a consumer DNA file can suggest about power versus endurance, response to training, injury predisposition and recovery — and the limits of all four.
-
Traits
13 traits
Which everyday traits can be read from a consumer DNA file, which of them rest on strong single-gene evidence, and which are much weaker than they look.
-
Ancestry
3 breakdowns
How an ancestry breakdown is computed from a consumer DNA file, what mtDNA and Y haplogroups add, and why two services reading the same file disagree.
