Just found that my genetic risk of diabetes is higher than 99.9% who share the same ancestry as me. This stuff is priceless.

Yasir A

Reassuring to see i have normal or below average risks for stuff like heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, several types of cancer, arthritis.

Erica W

Nucleus confirmed the knowledge I already have about my family history, but I also found out that I'm at elevated risk for coronary artery disease, insomnia, and multiple sclerosis.

Maxx Y

I discovered I was at a very high risk for a condition I’d never even heard of—Hereditary Hemochromatosis—which would ultimately change my life.

Ethan C

As the father of two girls (and son of a mom who had breast cancer), I'm grateful to know about my disease risks so we can plan better as a family.

Alexis O

The process couldn’t have been more straightforward. No blood draws…no Dr. visits…just a quick swab of my cheeks.

Jeffrey B

I got the results! I am actually quite impressed. . . the most accurate test I've taken.

Johnny S

Got my results yesterday. Pretty amazing insights, especially one in particular that I wasn’t even aware could be related to genomics and had a deep impact on my life: alcohol.

Gabriel V

Nucleus highlights factors like age, BMI, or cholesterol that are likely to tilt the scales in certain cases. I now plan to have more regular eye exams because my risk for macular degeneration is more strongly correlated with age than I knew.

FAQ

How is Nucleus different than 23andMe?

add

23andMe looks at a tiny fraction of your DNA — less than 0.1%. This means critical health insights are missed.

That’s why Nucleus sequences your entire genome — all 6 billion letters — so you can mitigate more diseases, make healthier decisions, and live with confidence.

Unlike 23andMe, Nucleus is HIPAA compliant, CAP accredited, and CLIA certified. This means we follow strict regulations to keep your data private and secure.
