Navigating SNP & gene pages
Your SNP & Gene pages show what genotypes you have for different genetic variants (SNPs):
Here are definitions for each column shown on the SNP tables:
Variant (SNP): pronounced "snips", these are Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms or genetic variants; please see this video to learn about SNPs
Genotype: The alleles or variants you carry in this particular SNP
Frequency: Allele frequency; the relative frequency of the allele for this SNP in a population (based on your ethnicity choice when you signed up)
Alternative Allele: Learn more about alternative alleles here
Impact: The impact scores reflect how much of an impact that variant influences that gene. The higher the impact score, the more it affects the gene.
Understanding Icons on SNP & Gene Pages
On SNP and Gene pages, you may notice different icons that provide additional context about genetic variants.
- The small "i" inside a circle is an informational tooltip that offers general details about insertions and deletions (INDELs). This icon appears for all users and is not specific to your genetic results—it does not indicate that you personally have an INDEL.
- The purple-filled icon with a human symbol, however, is specific to your results. It appears next to the alleles that you carry, highlighting variations found in your genetic data.
These icons help distinguish between general information and your personal genetic insights, making it easier to interpret your results accurately.
If you have any other questions, please see Genetics 101 and Science FAQs.
