Laboratory tests

Genetic predisposition testing

Your inherited DNA can help explain some health predispositions. A selected-variant panel adds information to family history and clinical findings, helping the clinician decide which risks deserve closer attention and which results need specialist interpretation.

Method
Analysis of selected inherited DNA variants in the ordered modules; this is not automatically whole-genome sequencing.
Sample
The clinic confirms whether the current kit uses a cheek swab, saliva or blood and provides collection instructions.

In detail

Why this matters in your care

Genetic information can add a longer-term perspective because inherited variants are generally stable. Its value depends on whether a result adds useful information beyond your family history, current measurements and established screening. We focus on findings that can support an informed next step.

What the selected panel covers

Example reports group variants into modules, including cardiometabolic predispositions and selected nutrition or lifestyle traits. Different modules examine different variants and have different levels of evidence. A catalogue of possible modules is not the same as the list included in your order.

A risk-associated variant changes a probability; it usually does not determine whether a disease will occur. The absence of a tested variant does not exclude variants that were not tested or risks unrelated to genetics. Lifestyle-trait suggestions should be weighed against your actual health and preferences.

Before you decide

Discuss the purpose, exact variant list, possible unexpected findings and implications for relatives. Consent should also explain how samples and genetic data are handled. A strong family history of early or unusual disease may call for clinical genetic counselling and a targeted diagnostic test rather than a broad lifestyle panel.

How we use the report

The clinician separates well-supported findings from exploratory associations and explains whether confirmation or specialist review is needed. A result should not automatically change medication, replace recommended screening or lead to a restrictive diet. The useful outcome is a clear interpretation and a proportionate next step.

Reading a genetic predisposition result

An illustrative example created to explain the report or care plan. Values and findings are fictional, are not personal results and are not treatment targets. Your report depends on the agreed service.
