Why might my results change over time?

Updated on

Your DNA does not change, but science progresses. When new studies are published, we review the interpretation and update your results to make them more comprehensive and accurate. A change in a result does not mean the previous result was wrong; it was based on the knowledge available at the time. 

  • New results. We add conditions and traits when there is sufficient scientific evidence. 
  • Withdrawn results. If new studies call a result's validity into question, we may withdraw it temporarily or permanently. This does not mean your genetics have changed. 
  • Your age. Some conditions are more or less common at different ages, so certain results are adjusted over time. 

For Starter and Advanced, updates are available at no extra cost; for Ultra, they are included with tellmeGen+.
