Before taking the tellmeGen Advanced genetic analysis, it is important to know the following: The tellmeGen Advanced genetic analysis is designed to detect relevant genetic variants in DNA from a saliva sample. It provides information on genetic vulnerability to health conditions and carrier status for hereditary conditions. Although useful, the information provided is not intended to diagnose diseases or to assess your current state of health.
The reports describe whether you have genetic variants associated with an increased vulnerability to developing certain diseases. However, they do not offer a calculation of the total risk of developing these diseases, as other factors, such as environmental factors, may exist that influence the development of the disease. Ethnicity can influence the relevance of the reports and the interpretation of the genetic vulnerability results. The information provided should be discussed with a healthcare professional. Results should not be used to make medical decisions without additional confirmation in a clinical setting.
