What do we recommend to people in the app after the test?

DNA testing has revolutionized personalized medicine, offering people insights into their genetic makeup and predispositions to various health conditions. However, as research advances and our understanding of genetics evolves, it's crucial for us to

<h2 dir="ltr" id="isPasted">Introduction</h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(13, 13, 13); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">DNA testing has revolutionized personalized medicine, offering people insights into their genetic makeup and predispositions to various health conditions. However, as research advances and our understanding of genetics evolves, it&apos;s crucial for us to stay updated. This ensures the most accurate and relevant information is provided to those seeking insights into their genetic profile.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;"><br></p><h2 dir="ltr" id="staying-up-to-date-with-research">Staying Up-to-Date with Research</h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(13, 13, 13); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Genetics is a rapidly evolving field, with new discoveries and insights emerging constantly. As scientists delve deeper into the human genome, they uncover new genetic variants associated with various traits and conditions, or current variants can be reclassified. Similarly, advancements in technology allow for more precise analysis of genetic data, enabling the identification of previously unknown variants.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;"><br></p><h2 dir="ltr" id="impact-on-dna-test-results">Impact on DNA Test Results</h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(13, 13, 13); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When we incorporate these new findings into our analyses, it can lead to updates in genetic variants and polygenic risk scores. This means that individuals who have previously undergone DNA testing may receive different results if they were to undergo testing again. While this might seem confusing or unexpected, it&apos;s a natural consequence of scientific progress. Updated results reflect the most current understanding of genetics and provide individuals with more accurate insights into their health risks and predispositions.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;"><br></p><h2 dir="ltr" id="medication-metabolism">Medication Metabolism</h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is important to understand that the field of pharmacogenomics is continuously evolving, with new research and discoveries constantly emerging. As such, the understanding of drug metabolism, the significance of specific gene variants, and the annotations assigned to medications can change over time.&#xA0;</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The interpretations and recommendations based on genetic tests are made with the best available evidence at the time but may be subject to revision as new information becomes available.

These updates reflect the latest scientific evidence and ensure that individuals receive the most accurate and relevant information about their genetic makeup and health risks. While it may be surprising to see changes in test results, it&apos;s important to recognize that this is a normal and expected part of the scientific process. Your DNA data will still be the same, only the way they are interpreted evolves.</span></p>
