FAQ

What are the benefits of taking a ItsinmyDNA at-home DNA test?

 DNA tests provide insights into various crucial aspects of your health, wellness, and ancestry. These tests enable you to personalize your healthcare, diet, fitness routine, skincare regimen, and medication choices.

Follow-on genetic counseling, and a personalized action plan created based on your goals, lifestyle, family health history, and genetic results help you improve your health from Day one.

What will happen to my sample once it goes to the lab?

Once your sample arrives in the lab:

First, we de-identify your personal information and register securely in our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
Second, our lab team extracts DNA from the sample and conducts quality analysis.
The DNA is then converted into genetic code, which is analyzed by our experienced bioinformaticians.
By comparing your data to our gold-standard database, we identify important information about your health, fitness, ancestry, and more.
Finally, our report generation team prepares a detailed report, which is shared with you by our client communications coordinator.

Is my data secure and what data protection rights do I have?

We work with a certified laboratory called MapMyGenome and they  put in place a strict data protection policy to make sure your data is secure. MapMyGenome uses Biotracker™ by Ocimum Biosolutions to manage and track information at every stage of the process – from profile creation to sample collection, processing and reporting. This ensures compliance with GxP, US FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, and caBIG® (bronze).

MapMyGenome is an ISO15189:2012, ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018, and ISO/IEC27001:2013 certified laboratory.

The system not only allows privileged-based access and audit trails for information storage but also enables delinking of personal information.
