WE ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

How can whole genome sequencing help me?

  • Health: it allows you to identify genetic predispositions in order to plan preventive measures and learn about your pharmacogenetic profile (where available).
  • Lifestyle: helps guide personalized habits (diet, exercise) and provides insight into the genetic component of many of your traits. We speak of high reliability, not absolute certainty, since there are non-genetic factors and genetic variants still unknown.
  • Origins and family: you can explore your ancestry in detail, your haplogroups, and your percentage of Neanderthal DNA. With DNA Connect, you may find genetic relatives in our database (participation is voluntary).
  • Future research: we record variants whose significance is currently uncertain (VUS), so they can be reinterpreted in future updates without the need to repeat sequencing.
