Terms of use
GENES ≠ FATE explains the quality and limits of scientific evidence. It does not provide medical services or perform laboratory testing.
Prohibited uses
Content must not be the sole basis for diagnosis, prevention, medication or dose changes, reproductive decisions, or decisions about employment, insurance, education, sport or research eligibility.
Clinical confirmation
A potentially significant consumer-test result may require confirmation by another validated method and qualified interpretation in the context of medical and family information.
Variant reference
The popup reproduces a record from a limited local snapshot of public ClinVar data. It does not perform a complete ClinVar search, validate the source or quality of a test, confirm that the user carries the variant, establish a diagnosis or individual risk, indicate testing, or select treatment. Following an external record link to NCBI is a separate user action governed by NCBI/NLM policies.
Evidence navigator
The navigator deterministically matches selected categories against a limited editorial set of primary sources. An exact match means only that the selected fields match the conditions of one set record. It does not confirm diagnosis, biomarker presence, medical eligibility, local authorisation or access, compare treatments, or recommend a medicine or dose.
Pharmacogenetics navigator
An exact match means only that the selected gene–medicine–context relationship falls within the scope of the stated version of a professional guideline. It does not authorise starting, stopping, switching or changing a treatment regimen, confirm safety or effectiveness for a person, or turn CPIC into a regulatory label for Russia, the United States or another country.
Cardiometabolic navigator
The navigator shows only the scope of an expert-curated relationship and a safe report-verification pathway. It does not confirm diagnosis, penetrance or individual risk; order a test, relative evaluation, surveillance schedule, exercise plan or treatment; or replace local clinical assessment with an international ClinGen record or professional guideline.
Rare-disease navigator
The navigator compares the roles of targeted testing, panels, CMA, exome, genome and reanalysis for a general clinical question. It does not collect symptoms, confirm diagnosis, estimate disease probability, choose a laboratory or order testing. A VUS does not become a diagnosis or familial marker, and a negative result does not exclude disease without coverage and technical-limit review.
Reproductive and newborn navigator
The navigator separates carrier screening, NIPT/cfDNA, prenatal diagnosis, PGT and public newborn screening. It does not calculate the chance of a child having a condition, select a procedure, embryo or pregnancy decision, replace genetic counselling, or turn a screening signal, no-call or VUS into a diagnosis. Decisions about CVS, amniocentesis, PGT, embryo transfer and infant care remain with the family and clinical team.
NCI GDC research reference
The reference displays dated aggregates for open tumour cohorts and file-access classes. An SSM observation in a gene includes any consequence class and does not establish a driver, exact clinical variant, drug target or indication. Cohort data must not be used as individual prognosis, test confirmation or a basis for treatment selection.
Third-party products
Description or assessment of a commercial test is not certification, advertising, endorsement or a purchase recommendation. A negative result does not rule out risk, and a positive result alone does not establish disease.
Updates
Genetic evidence, regulatory status and product characteristics change. Check the page date, primary source, country and exact intended use.
