WE ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

What information do I get with Ultra WGS (30x)?

  • Hereditary (monogenic) conditions: discover whether you are a carrier or have relevant genetic variants in genes with known clinical impact (e.g., cystic fibrosis or familial hypercholesterolemia).
  • Genetic predisposition to complex conditions: estimate your genetic susceptibility to diseases influenced by multiple factors. These results are not deterministic, as environment and lifestyle play a key role. Preventive recommendations based on clinical guidelines are included.
  • Personal traits and wellness: learn about the genetic basis of your physical characteristics (eye color, hair type) and traits related to sports, sleep, and various clinical parameters.
  • Pharmacogenetics: identify variants that affect how your body responds to different drugs (metabolism, efficacy, and risk of adverse effects). This report is not currently available in the United States.
  • Ancestry: explore your origins through regional proportions, possible genetic relatives (up to 5th degree), maternal haplogroup, paternal haplogroup (biological males only), and your percentage of Neanderthal DNA.
  • Mitochondrial DNA: we also sequence mitochondrial DNA and report relevant findings within the detection limits of the method.
