Description
Overview:
The Female Complete Polygenic Risk Panel is a saliva-based genetic test designed to assess your inherited risk for a wide range of health conditions. By analyzing your DNA for multiple genetic markers, the test generates polygenic risk scores (PRS) that estimate your likelihood of developing certain diseases.
