Your Personalized Lab Marker List


Every individual’s health journey is unique. Here’s how your list is organized:

  1. Previously Suboptimal Results
    • Markers or panels with past results that were outside the optimal range are shown at the top.
    • These markers often affect multiple important health aspects. Regular monitoring can help track changes over time.
  2. Critical Health-Related Markers
    • Next are markers associated with key health issues identified through your DNA analysis.
    • These markers provide valuable insights into areas of potential concern.
  3. Less Impactful Markers
    • At the bottom, you’ll find markers associated with areas where your genetic predispositions are favorable.
    • While less urgent, these markers can still offer a complete view of your health.

Understanding Lab Markers


Clicking on a lab marker provides:

  • A list of Health Reports linked to that marker
  • Information on why it matters for your health
  • Insights on how it may relate to your genetic profile

In conclusion, Recommended Tests is designed to help you prioritize lab markers and understand their relevance to your health. By combining your genetic risks and prior results, this feature gives you a clear picture of which markers are most important to monitor and track over time.
