Health test information

Introduction

Our reports tell you how specific genetic variants in your DNA can affect your chances of developing certain health conditions. Genetic variants are differences in DNA between people. Some variants may increase the risk of developing certain health conditions. However, not everyone with a risk variant will develop these health conditions. For many of these conditions, people without a risk variant can also develop them. Some variants are more common in certain ethnicities. The effect a variant has on risk for a health condition is often best understood in those ethnicities. Since families share DNA, having a family history of a condition can increase risk. If you have a variant, your family members may also have that variant. For certain conditions, genetics is just one part of a person's total risk. You may be able to manage your risk for some conditions by managing other risk factors. Our tests do not diagnose any health conditions. Talk to your healthcare provider to better understand how to manage your risk.

Limitations and other important information

• This report has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
• This test is not intended to diagnose any disease or condition, tell you anything about your current state of health, or be used to make medical decisions, including whether or not you should take a medication or how much of a medication you should take.
• This test provides genetic risk information based on assessment of specific genetic variants but does not report on your entire genetic profile. This test does not report all genetic variants related to a given disease or condition, and the absence of a variant tested does not rule out the presence of other genetic variants that may be related to the disease/condition.
• This test does not provide INDEL mutation analysis (INsertions/DELetions). Mutations analyzed include SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms).
• Other genetic risk tests may report different genetic variants for the same disease/condition, so you may get different results using another genetic risk test.
• Other factors such as environmental and lifestyle risk factors may affect your risk of developing a given disease or health condition.
• This test is not a substitute for visits to your doctor or other health care professional. You should consult with your doctor or otherhealth care professional if you have any questions or concerns about the results of your test or your current state of health.
• You may wish to speak to a genetic counselor, board-certified clinical molecular geneticist, or equivalent health care professional about the results of your test and to help answer any questions you may have. You can identify genetic counselors by visiting the National Society of Genetic Counselors website (https://www.nsgc.org).
