DNA tests

DNA tests are used to obtain general information about genetic and hereditary factors related to an individual’s biological makeup. They are relevant in situations where there is interest in understanding genetic characteristics connected to wellbeing, nutrition, biological relationships, or inherited traits on a general level. DNA tests do not provide diagnoses or replace medical examinations, but instead offer background information that can support personal knowledge and understanding of genetic factors. Proper sample collection and careful adherence to the provided instructions are essential to ensure the test is used as intended.

When might DNA tests be relevant?

• When there is interest in the relationship between genetics and nutrition
• When wanting to understand individual genetic differences on a general level
• When questions related to biological relationships or parentage arise
• When inherited traits or genetic predispositions are of general interest
• When seeking background information related to genetics as part of personal knowledge building

The selection includes DNA tests designed for different general use cases, including tests related to wellbeing, nutrition, biological relationships, and inherited factors. Each test page provides more detailed information about the test’s intended purpose, sample collection, and how the test is designed to be used. Reviewing and following the test-specific instructions is an important part of responsible and appropriate testing.
