Website and Service Description
Our website is user-friendly and easily navigable, designed to provide you with comprehensive information about our testing services. It offers educational resources on genetics concepts and terminology to help you better understand the implications of your test results. It also offers you information on how to order a testing kit, and have it delivered to your address.
Our test is informational and educational. It is not diagnostic, and it is not intended to diagnose or treat any diseases. Do not use the results from the rare and common diseases report sections to explain current health conditions, make medical decisions, or affect treatments. The test doesn’t detect all possible genetic variants that affect disease risks; many factors can affect disease risks, such as variants not covered with this test, and extrinsic factors such as lifestyle, medical history, and the environment. The test cannot replace medical check-ups, screenings, analyses, and consultations with your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider should be the only source of medical advice and treatment, we do not provide them. To confirm any findings, your healthcare provider should refer you to an independent genetic test in a clinical setting.
The pharmacogenetics results are informational and educational and should not affect drug treatments. The test doesn’t detect all possible variants associated with drug response. Many factors determine drug response, such as genetic variants not covered with this test, and extrinsic factors such as other medications, lifestyle, medical history, and the environment. To confirm any findings, your healthcare provider should refer you to an independent genetic test in a clinical setting. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your medication regimen or healthcare plan.
The personalized recommendations are based on scientific studies and medical guidelines. They are intended for the general healthy adult population and do not take into account individual health or other conditions.
