FAQ
What will my results tell me?
add
Your Nucleus results include personalized insights about how your unique DNA combines with your lifestyle factors to influence your disease risks and trait dispositions. Nucleus currently provides reports for the following diseases: ADHD Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) Alcohol dependence Alzheimer's disease Anxiety disorders Asthma Bipolar disorder Celiac disease Chronic pain Colorectal cancer Coronary artery disease Depression Endometriosis Female breast cancer Gastric cancer Hypertension Insomnia Male breast cancer Migraine Multiple sclerosis OCD Osteoarthritis Ovarian cancer Parkinson's disease Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) Prostate cancer Restless legs syndrome Rheumatoid arthritis Schizophrenia Type 2 diabetes Nucleus currently provides reports for the following traits: BMI Height IQ Left-Handedness Longevity Male-pattern baldness Muscle strength Risk-Taking Seasonal Allergies Severe Acne
How is Nucleus different than 23andMe?
add
Most genetic tests look at only 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.
How accurate is Nucleus?
add
Nucleus sets the bar for quality — and keeps raising it. Our whole-genome DNA test is more than 99.9% accurate. From our research, to sourcing, to manufacturing and testing, we go above and beyond industry standards to bring you safe and accurate results. While your DNA doesn’t change (it’s yours for life!), your Nucleus results can. Genetic research is always improving, so we constantly update your health results to give you the most accurate read on your health.
How do I get my results and how long does it take?
add
Once you place your order, you’ll receive an email from Nucleus with order details and shipping information. Once you receive your DNA test kit, you’ll be able to take your DNA sample — a simple swab of your cheek — in a matter of minutes. As soon as you’re done, you can ship your sample to our lab using our prepaid USPS shipping label. When your results are ready, you’ll receive an email notification. Log in to Nucleus on your phone or computer to explore your unique health insights.
How does DNA testing work?
add
Nucleus’ whole-genome test analyzes your DNA for millions of variants that can impact your disease risks. The variants are then classified and interpreted using a combination of new genetic analysis models, public and private databases, and variant interpretation guidelines from nationally recognized genetics associations, such as the American College of Medical Genetics.
