The Reliability of TellmeGen Results

Have you ever wondered how reliable the results obtained from a genetic analysis are? Today, we are going to explore this question and discuss the reliability of the results obtained from tellmeGen.

Aspects to consider

Reliability of Raw Genetic Data

At tellmeGen, we use Illumina® iScan technology and the latest version of the Infinium Global Screening Array or GSA genotyping chip. This chip contains around 650,000 genetic markers and has been customized with 10,000 of its own probes. But how reliable is this? The reliability of the iScan system is more than 99.99%. In addition, the chip contains markers that are replicated multiple times as an internal quality control.

Reliability of Interpretation of Genetic Data

At tellmeGen, the information displayed on the platform is reviewed by our team of doctors and geneticists. The information provided is based on studies that include at least 700 cases and 700 controls and that have been published in scientific journals with a high impact factor.

Technology Used in tellmeGen

This chip has been customized with 10,000 proprietary probes, and contains around 650,000 genetic markers. The GSA also contains markers that are repeated multiple times as an internal quality control.

The Genetic Predictive Process

Improvement of the Genetic Predictive Process

This important update allows us to significantly improve our predictive genetics process. As its name indicates, it allows us to predict from a genetic point of view the probability of developing diseases or having complex traits.

The Power of Combining Genetic Knowledge and Computational Power

Imputation Based Analysis

At tellmeGen, we apply the combination of genetic knowledge and computational power to significantly increase the number of variants that can be analyzed with a DNA chip to tens of millions. This imputation-based analysis allows us to study new variants that have been associated with disease and were not present among the initial 750,000 variants.

Precision in Estimating Genetic Risk

Through this process, we achieved our goal of estimating each individual's genetic risk with more precision than ever before.
