The world's most comprehensive Carrier Screening.

A single screen of more than 1,200 rare diseases, syndromes, conditions and traits.

The app analyzes genetic data from a person and provides clear information about whether that person is likely to be affected by, or be a carrier of, a rare disease. The app also provides:

analysis and information on rare syndromes, conditions and traits.
an interactive display of all of the diseases, genes and genetic variants analyzed.

View the full list of rare diseases, syndromes, conditions and traits analyzed by this Rare Disease Screen.

This DNA analysis app can analyze DNA data from almost any DNA test including genome sequencing. While this app is compatible with 23andMe, Ancestry, MyHeritage and similar tests, the results may be limited.

The ability for this Rare Disease Screen to analyze each trait, condition and disease will depend upon the amount of data in your DNA data file. This app is optimized for whole genome sequencing (WGS) data because WGS provides data on 100% of the genome, which enables this screen to perform the most comprehensive analysis.

If you haven't yet had your whole genome sequenced, Sequencing.com's 30x clinical-grade whole genome sequencing includes this Rare Disease Screen as well as several other DNA analysis apps and reports.

DNA tests that use 'genotyping microarray technology', such as the tests used by 23andMe, Ancestry and MyHeritage, do not test the whole genome. Instead, these types of tests only provide data on a small subset of a person's genome. While these tests provide enough data for our other DNA analysis apps and reports, they only provide a subset of the DNA data analyzed by this Rare Disease Screen.

While the Rare Disease Screen will analyze the data that is provided from genotyping microarray tests, there will be gaps in the analysis because these tests do not provide data on a person's entire genome. Because of this, some of the traits, conditions and diseases may not be able to be fully analyzed or may not be able to be analyzed at all. The results will indicate if this occurs. For example, if there is no DNA data available in a DNA data file for a specific disease to be analyzed then the result will indicate this in the 'Analysis Alerts' section in the 'No genetic data available' table.

This app analyzes your DNA for thousands of rare diseases and traits.

If your DNA data is not already stored in your Sequencing.com account, you can either import your data from a DNA test you've already taken or you can order a DNA test.

What if I don't have genetic data?

This app requires DNA data. To obtain the most comprehensive results, order our 30x Clinical-Grade Whole Genome Sequencing test. It includes the Rare Disease Screen as well as several other DNA health apps.

What types of genetic data can I use with this app?

You can use genetic data from almost any laboratory genetic test. This includes:

Whole genome sequencing and exome sequencing
23andMe, Ancestry.com, Family Tree DNA and The Genographic Project (National Geographic)
Most DNA genotyping microarrays including Illumina Bead Arrays^®, Affymetrix Gene Chips^® and the Nexus Chip^®

Please note that the ability for this app to analyze each trait, condition and disease will depend upon the amount of genetic data in your genetic data file. If there is not enough genetic data in your file then some traits, conditions or diseases may not be able to be fully analyzed or may not be able to be analyzed at all. The results will indicate if this occurs. For example, if there is no genetic data for a specific disease to be analyzed then the result will indicate this in the 'Analysis Alerts' section in the 'No genetic data available' table. This is more likely to occur if your genetic data file is from a company or laboratory that uses DNA microarray technology for their genetic testing, such as AncestryDNA, 23andMe and MyHeritage.

Do I need to do anything to the file containing my genetic data before it is analyzed by this app?

Good news... the app does everything for you.

All you need to do is either upload or import the file containing your genetic data into your Sequencing.com account. Start the app, select the file and the app will handle do everything else.

23andMe data can be uploaded or imported directly from 23andMe (via the Upload Center) while Ancestry.com, Family Tree DNA and The Genographic Project data can be obtained from those services and then uploaded to your account at Sequencing.com. You don't need to do anything to the file you obtain from these services... just upload the file to your secure account at Sequencing.com and then you can use it to power most apps.

Both whole and exome sequencing data can be provided unaligned (such as in FASTQ or FASTA formats), aligned but without variant calling (such as BAM or SAM formats) or in VCF, CRAM or AVRO formats.

What about determining sex or reference genome used when the data was created?

Some more good news... the app does this as well. It utilizes an advanced automated approach to determine sex and reference genome (if the file format is downstream of alignment).

What do the question marks and dashes represent in the 'My Genetic Makeup' column of this table?

Two question marks are used when your genetic data file did not contain any data on this specific genetic variant and therefore the data was not tested for and is 'Unknown'. Two question marks are used because each person's DNA contains two copies of that genetic variant so there is one question mark for each copy of the genetic variant in your DNA.

A single question mark will appear when your genetic data file did not contain any data on this specific genetic and DNA commonly only contains a single copy of that genetic variant.

For example, all variants on the mitochondrial chromosome (Chromosome "M") exist as a single copy because DNA only contains a single copy of the mitochondrial chromosome. This is different from most chromosomes, which appear duplicate (there are two copies of chromosome 1, two copies of chromosome 2, etc.). If the variant is on a chromosome that there is only a single copy of and there is no data on that variant in the data file then only a single question mark will appear.

Two dashes are used if your genetic data file does include information about this specific genetic variant but the data is a 'No Call.' A 'No Call' means the lab that generated the file determined that the variant's test result did not pass quality control. A 'No Call' may also appear when Sequencing.com's additional quality control determines a variant's result is not reliable and may provide inaccurate results. Sequencing.com has implemented this additional quality control to ensure that only the highest quality genetic data is analyzed by apps.

Two dashes are used instead of question marks because the genetic data file does contain data on that variant but the variant's results are not reliable.

A single dash is used when the variant's results are not reliable (ie the test result for that variant fails quality control) and DNA contains only a single copy of that variant. For example, all variants on the mitochondrial chromosome that are tested for by a genetic test but don't pass quality control have a single dash as the variant's result.

The analysis performed by this app utilizes a proprietary combination of data from the following sources:

Sequencing.com's Nexus^® genotype-phenotype database
NCBI's ClinVar database
