It is common for some people to wonder… “Knowing risks in my DNA feels scary. Do I really want to know? And if I know, what can I really do about it?”
Your DNA is not your destiny. In fact, understanding your genomic profile empowers you to make intelligent health and wellness choices. Every person is made up of cells and they get their instructions from pieces of DNA called variants. The code written in DNA is the unique recipe that makes you, ‘you’! There is no one DNA that can accurately predict the risk of complicated diseases like Alzheimer’s, heart disease, diabetes or obesity. These chronic health conditions occur because of interactions between many genes, along with environmental and nutritional factors. Our medical team will analyze your data and you will have color-coded results in green, yellow and red that display odds ratios. An odds ratio is the likelihood of an individual with a specific variant developing a certain health condition compared to someone who does not have the variant. For example, an odds ratio of 4.22 in the blood clot panel means that you have 4.22 times the risk of developing blood clots compared to someone without the variant. Therefore, this finding would have a red-colored code for your reference and our team will recommend definitive actions to treat this issue. Note: IntellxxDNA™ genomic reporting will analyze over 20,000 variants within your DNA.
