A DNA report is not a diagnosis
Genetic testing can show predispositions and pathway information, but it does not diagnose disease or replace clinical evaluation.
It cannot capture your full current health picture
Symptoms, habits, environment, medications, lab findings, and personal history all shape health in ways a DNA report cannot fully measure.
It does not remove the need for context
Even relevant variants need interpretation within the wider picture. Treating genetics like a complete answer usually leads to oversimplification.
Why these limits are helpful to understand
Clear expectations make reports more useful. They help readers use genetics as a starting point for questions instead of as a shortcut to certainty.
