Testing & genetics / SOURCE BRIEF
Your DNA report is not your destiny.
What to know
Consumer genetic reports often estimate probabilities rather than give a yes-or-no prediction. Many tests examine only some relevant variants. Lower reported risk does not guarantee protection, and higher risk does not guarantee disease.
Points to carry forward
- Discuss significant findings with a genetic counselor or other appropriate clinician.
- Distinguish a risk estimate from a treatment decision.
Keep this in mind
A consumer result is not a diagnosis or a ready-made nutrition, supplement or medication plan.
A question to carry with you
