A report written for your child’s age and walked through with you in person. Here is what goes into it, and the care that goes into every page.
Every review follows the same shape, written for your child’s age and talked through with you in person.
Eight areas, nutrition first, drawn from up to 187 reports. A finding that earns a place gets a card with things to try. Everything else is listed, with a note that nothing needs doing.
A “This week” page you keep, agreed with your consultant and dated: two food changes, one routine, one thing to keep an eye on and one thing not to worry about.
Test a parent too and your consultant turns both results into one plan for your home: meals, lunchboxes, bedtime and days out, with a shopping list to match.
Every report looked at in the review, by area, and the science behind each card: the genes, markers and published studies it rests on, so you can see why.
A plain name
What it’s about, in everyday words.
The report’s own name
Exactly as it appears in your parent account, so you can find it.
A soft band, never a grade
Your consultant marks where your child tends to sit. No numbers or grades on any finding. The only colours in the review are your child’s Nutritional Score band, the same colours you see on the scanner.
Things to try
One to three actions that change the kitchen or the calendar, never the child.
Why we say this
The genetic markers, genes and studies behind it, and how strong the evidence is.
Take the vitamin D card from the sample review, written for an 8-year-old. It sits under Nutrition, because nutrition comes first in every review. The plain name is Vitamin D, and under it is the report’s own name, Vitamin D Level, so you can find it in your parent account.
The band is marked “Tends lower”. In words: some children’s bodies tend to hold on to less vitamin D, especially with little time in the sun. It describes a tendency, not your child’s vitamin D level today.
Then come the things to try: eggs or oily fish such as saba, salmon or sardines twice a week, 15 minutes outdoors after school, and a question for your paediatrician at the next check-up about whether a level is worth checking.
At the foot, “Why we say this” lists 1,240 genetic markers, including NADSYN1 and ADAMTS3, from 4 published studies, with the evidence rated moderate.
It never describes your child as anything. Traits are tendencies.
No intelligence, talent or personality scores.
Adult-onset risks stay out of a child’s review. They remain in your parent account.
Wellness and nutrition support. Your paediatrician is the first call.
MyDNA provides direct-to-consumer genetic testing for wellness and informational purposes. It is not a medical diagnostic test and does not replace medical advice, diagnosis, health screening or treatment. Genetic predisposition indicates likelihood, not certainty. Always consult your child’s paediatrician about their health, and before starting any supplement.
