Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) offer a reliable estimation of an individual's likelihood to develop traits or conditions based on their genetic variants, derived from extensive genetic studies.

By aggregating the effects of numerous genetic markers linked to specific traits, PRS provides a comprehensive score. The accuracy of PRS predictions is influenced by the robustness and size of the genetic dataset, the strength of associations, and the complexity of the trait under consideration.

However, it's important to note that PRS doesn't encompass environmental factors or lifestyle choices, which are also contributors to disease risk. Nonetheless, PRS remains a valuable tool for offering insights into genetic predispositions.

Our approach, grounded in scientific research, involves analyzing 800,000 genetic markers. Through a process called polygenic risk scoring, we further enhance this data to encompass 2 million markers. This method draws upon extensive datasets to estimate the likelihood of various factors such as health conditions, cardiovascular challenges, fitness predispositions, and more.

The specific insights you gain are closely linked to the reports you choose to purchase. This comprehensive approach offers a deeper understanding of your genetic landscape and its potential implications.
