What a report holds
Findings
- Evidence you can follow
- rsIDs link to dbSNP, studies to PubMed.
- Results in a sentence
- Blood group or APOE type as one plain answer.
- Gaps are labelled
- Inferred genotypes and skipped modules say so.
Polygenic scores
Every score model, side by side
Different studies built different models for one trait, and they often disagree. just-prs scores your genome with each PGS Catalog model.
Most models come from studies of European ancestry.
How to read it
Before you read a result as news
- Not a diagnosis
- Health decisions belong with a clinician or a genetic counsellor.
- Red labels are common
- Healthy genomes carry variants once called pathogenic.
- A score is a place on a chart
- Lifestyle often matters more than any common variant.
- Worried? Ask a doctor
- A finding that matches your family history needs a clinical test.
