The chart is a Gaussian bell curve. The horizontal axis represents genetic susceptibility and the vertical axis shows the number of people in the reference population with each value.
- At the centre is the majority of the population, with average susceptibility.
- Towards the right, susceptibility is higher than average.
- Towards the left, it is lower than average.
Your position on the curve shows where you sit in relation to the population, not whether you will develop the condition. If you have questions, contact us or consult your healthcare professional.
