How can whole genome sequencing help me?

Updated on
  • Health: allows you to identify genetic vulnerabilities to plan preventive measures and understand your pharmacogenetic profile (where available).
  • Lifestyle: helps guide personalized habits (diet, sports) and understand the genetic component of many of your traits. We are talking about high reliability, not absolute certainty, as there are non-genetic factors and variants that are still unknown.
  • Origins and family: you can learn about your ancestry in detail, your haplogroups, and your percentage of Neanderthal DNA. With DNA Connect, you can find genetic relatives in our database (participation is voluntary).
  • Future research: we record variants whose significance is currently uncertain (VUS) to be able to reinterpret them in future updates without the need to repeat the sequencing.
