"A Genetic Risk Result Is a Diagnosis"

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A genomic risk result is not a diagnosis, because most common diseases are polygenic and environmentally modulated, so a flagged variant shifts probability, not certainty.

Show

Two people can carry the same disease-associated variant and never develop the same condition, since other factors still shape the outcome.

Watch for

A clean risk result does not guarantee the disease will never develop.
