How do I find my results for a specific gene?
Yes, you can search for any gene or SNP directly in your SelfDecode account to view personalized results and gene information.
How to Search for a Gene or SNP
- Click the blue magnifying glass icon on the navigation panel
- Type the name of the gene or SNP into the search box and press Enter
- You'll see search results from our entire database
- Select the result marked as Gene (highlighted in purple)
- You'll be directed to the gene page with your personalized SNP table, gene information, functions, and related research
Important Note About Single SNPs
It's rare for a single SNP to have a major influence on your health. A more complete picture comes from looking at all your SNPs related to a topic together—which is exactly what we do in your DNA health reports.
The availability of results for specific genes depends on the genetic testing data you've uploaded to your SelfDecode account. If you haven't uploaded your data or if the gene isn't covered in your genetic test, no results will be available for that gene.
Finding Your Genotype for a Specific Gene
You may wonder how to find your genotype for an entire gene. Here's what you need to know: SelfDecode analyzes your genetic data in the form of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Each SNP represents a specific variation at one location in your DNA.
Determining a single genotype for an entire gene isn't how genetic analysis works, because genes contain thousands of SNPs. Not all SNPs within a gene are analyzed or relevant to a specific trait or condition. Instead, we assess individual SNPs and their potential impact on your genetic makeup and health factors.
This approach is more accurate and meaningful than assigning one genotype to a whole gene.
