The entire process from receiving your sample, analyzing the information, and producing your results takes between 12 and 14 weeks. The estimated delivery time varies because every person’s genomic information is unique and may require different degrees of analysis.

myGenome is a test that is designed for healthy people of legal age. For a genetic analysis in minors you have myNewborn, a genetic screening test focused on the most frequent genetic pathologies that appear during childhood.

There are tests that analyze specific positions of your DNA, but they do not study complete genes or the entire genome, these tests are usually cheaper and are known as genotyping tests. If we compare them with a book it would be something like this:

In both cases, the data is real! But the information obtained is totally different. In the first case, if we know what to look at exactly, we will probably get interesting information, although we will leave a lot of information unanalyzed, so the clinical utility is very limited. This may not be visible to the naked eye in the report, but your entire genes are not being analyzed.

On other occasions, the tests sequence the entire genome but do not have teams of professionals in the interpretation of variants, so they include in the report everything that appears in public databases without review and therefore without a final classification. Many of these variants have no clinical utility, so the doctor cannot adapt the medical management and cause unnecessary alarm in the healthy patient.

myGenome is a genetic test that provides clinically important information. For this reason, the test requires a prescription. If you cannot obtain the prescription from your doctor Veritas can provide a genetic counseling consultation (included with the test) and a geneticist will evaluate your case and provide the prescription.
