What to expect from your AncestryHealth® reports.
AncestryHealth® reports are designed to be easy to understand, with clear, actionable steps you can take in partnership with a healthcare provider to help chart a healthier path forward, as well as access to additional resources to help make it happen.
Your results, powered by next-generation sequencing technology, look for thousands of DNA differences in the genes linked to certain inherited health conditions. These results are used, along with the family health information you provide before activating your kit, to produce a set of health reports, each associated with a specific health condition.

The tests are not cleared or approved by theU.S. Food and Drug Administration.
