A friendly walk through what your raw DNA actually says — your deep ancestry, the serious conditions we screened for, how your body handles medicines, and everyday traits.
A genotyping chip reads ~600,000 specific spots in your DNA (out of ~3 billion letters total). Call rate is how many of those spots came back with a confident reading — 99.35% is excellent. The chip doesn't read everything, so some markers below show "not tested."
A haplogroup is a branch of the human family tree, traced through DNA passed down almost unchanged for thousands of years. Your Y-DNA follows your father's father's father… line; your mitochondrial (mtDNA) follows your mother's mother's mother… line.
These are the high-stakes, well-established markers — inherited diseases and drug-safety genes a doctor would actually act on. Most came back clear. A few are worth knowing for the future. This is a screen of known spots, not a complete check — a clear result lowers the odds but never rules a condition out.
Spots flagged in ClinVar (a public clinical-genetics database). Nearly all are recessive carrier findings: you have one copy and are healthy — they matter only if a partner carries a variant in the same gene, for family planning. Findings are ranked by evidence strength (★); low-star rows are weak population associations, not diagnoses.

Pharmacogenomics — how your genes affect the way you process drugs, vitamins and food. These rarely mean "can't take it"; more often "might need a different dose." Useful to mention to a doctor before a new prescription.
Harmless, well-studied variants behind visible traits and quirks — eye colour, whether milk agrees with you, how fast you clear caffeine, and more. Single genes only tell part of the story, so treat these as strong hints, not guarantees.
Beyond the known list, we scanned every protein-coding spot for rare variants that change a protein. Out of protein-altering sites, these are the uncommon ones. CADD is a "how unusual / potentially impactful" score (higher = more notable; >20 is in the top 1%). Almost all of these are benign quirks — flagged only because they're rare. Sorted by CADD.
