Our science

Scientific rigor is essential to what we do.

To ensure that the genetic test results we provide our members and physicians are accurate, we have established stringent standards for the conditions we cover, the markers we test for and the calculations behind our risk estimates.

Genetic markers: Learn more about these important variations in DNA, how they relate to health, and why they are reliable indicators of risk. Learn more >

How we estimate risk: Our calculations of estimated lifetime risk are based on five factors, including average lifetime risk and personal genetic risk markers. Learn more >

Our selection criteria: Learn the details of how we select the health-related markers we include in our genetic testing services, including an explanation of our risk model score. Learn more >

The science behind our service: Read about the science behind the Navigenics genetic testing services in this white paper authored by our team of Ph.D. geneticists and epidemiologists. It explains the mathematical models we use to translate the odds ratios reported in the scientific literature into your estimated risk for various conditions. Download the white paper >
