Reports are based primarily in clinical research. SelfDecode has a team of scientists and writers who work together to create each 30-page report. While some of this information exists to ground you in how to read a report, most of it is information straight from clinical studies, including:
A brief overview of the subjectWhy the subject is important to your healthWhy genes are important to look atWhat genes and variants are relevant to the subjectWhy each recommendation might help (in general and related to your gene variants)Your specific gene, SNP, and genotype that influences the recommendation
Each claim is backed up by at least one study, linked as a reference in-text ([R]). Your top recommendations are ranked based on the strength of evidence in the medical literature (both for your genes and their usefulness at large).
