What are some of the reasons why I would want to receive my uninterpreted genomic data?

You may wish to receive your uninterpreted data because it is your right even though it may have no impact on you or your family’s health. You may also be curious about non-medical insights to be gained or wish to have your uninterpreted DNA data to use with third-party services that can interpret your genetic data at your expense, but there is a lot of uncertainty with these results. For that reason, if you do have the data analyzed and find any variants that may affect your health, it would be recommended that the finding is confirmed in a clinical laboratory that is certified to perform this type of test. Any uninterpreted DNA variants that may affect your health are recommended to be confirmed in a clinical laboratory that is certified to perform this type of test before taking any medical actions, as research DNA data is not intended to guide clinical care.
