Common Concerns With Direct-to-Consumer DNA Testing

Why Consult a Doctor?

Direct-to-consumer (DTC) DNA tests can offer valuable insights into your genetic makeup. However, interpreting these results can be complex and sometimes worrisome. Consulting with a doctor can help you understand your results and their potential implications for your health.

Remember, DTC tests are not diagnostic. Any major medical concerns identified should be assessed and diagnosed by a qualified doctor.

When to Consult a Doctor?

If your DNA test results indicate markers for conditions such as cancer, heart disease, or genetic disorders, please inform your family doctor or consult a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized advice, recommend further testing, and help you understand your options.

Our team at Heritable Health Inc. can help you navigate your DNA results and develop a personalized health plan. We're here to support you and ensure you have the information you need to make informed decisions about your health.

Book a consultation today to speak with one of our specialists if you have concerns about your DNA test results.

Understanding SNPs and the Human Genome

The Complexity of the Human Genome

The human genome consists of approximately 3.2 billion base pairs in a haploid set and 6.4 billion base pairs in a diploid set. However, only about 10 million of these base pairs are variable points classified as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), representing most of the differences between individuals.

What is an SNP?

A single nucleotide polymorphism, or SNP, is a variation at a single position in a DNA sequence among individuals. SNPs are the most common type of genetic variation and can act as biological markers, helping scientists locate genes associated with disease.
