Q: What specific health conditions are analyzed in this report?

A: The report analyzes a wide range of health conditions, including age-related macular degeneration, alopecia areata, Alzheimer’s disease, anemia, anxiety, asthma, cardiomyopathy, chronic kidney disease, depression, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and stroke.

Q: Can this report predict all potential health issues I might face?

A: While the report provides comprehensive insights into many genetic health risks, it cannot predict all potential health issues. Genetics is just one piece of the puzzle; lifestyle, environment, and other factors also play significant roles in your overall health.

Q: What should I do if the report indicates a high genetic risk for a particular condition?

A: If the report shows a high genetic risk for a specific condition, you can discuss the results with your doctor. After taking into account other factors like your medical and family history and lifestyle habits, they can advise you on further course of action. Remember, a high risk does not necessarily mean that one will go on to develop the condition.

Q: Can the report help me understand my family’s health risks?

A: Yes, understanding your genetic predispositions can provide insights into potential health risks for your family members since many genetic traits are inherited. However, this shared risk is only from a genetic perspective. Since many chronic health conditions are equally influenced by lifestyle and environmental factors, an individual’s risk will vary according to that.

Q: Will I get information about mutations found?

A: If any condition is flagged as high risk in your report, the pathogenic mutation(s) that contribute to the risk will be listed along with your results.

Q: How long will it take to receive my results after submitting my DNA data?

A: After uploading your DNA data, the report is typically generated and shared with you via email within 12-24 hours.

Q: How is my genetic information kept secure?

A: Your privacy is our top priority. We adhere to strict protocols to ensure your genetic data and personal information are kept secure and confidential. Your data is never shared with third parties without your explicit consent.
