What will the StrateGene Report tell me

Will StrateGene report on the "Super Seven" Genes as outlined in the Dirty Genes book?

Yes. The “Super Seven” genes are MTHFR, COMT, DAO, MAOA, GST/GPX, PEMT, NOS3. StrateGene analyzes and reports on a number of researched variants within the Super Seven genes. For example, COMT V158M homozygous is a slow COMT and a COMT V158M wild typ

Will the StrateGene Report give me supplement recommendations?

Not specifically. StrateGene guides you on which nutrients are supportive and potentially problematic for each particular gene and their SNPs.  For example, for MTHFR, we inform you that the nutrients folic acid may dirty your MTHFR gene. We also sha

Is the StrateGene Report going to tell me how my genes are acting in real time?

No. There are approximately 18,000 genes in the human body. There are very few ways to tell how your genes are acting right this moment. If you understand how many genes function, what their roles are, how they are supported and how they get dirty, y

Can Strategene be used as a substitute for preconception genetic counseling?

In short, no. We have taken the position not to include any polymorphisms that are listed as pathogenic in GeneCards.org or ClinVar. These pathogenic alleles typically are very rare. These polymorphisms are termed "rare variants of large effect" that

Is StrateGene a full Genome Genetic test?

No, StrateGene uses a microarray which looks at targeted variations on all genes. It is not a full genome genetic test.

Will the StrateGene Report tell me if I have MTHFR mutations?

StrateGene will report the findings of two MTHFR variants: C677T and A1298C. There are many other MTHFR variants as well, that we do not report on, as there is either no researched data on how these other MTHFR variants function or there are very, ve

My doctor knows nothing about genetic testing. Do I need a health professional to read the Strategene Report?

It is recommended to work with a qualified healthcare professional to help you analyze the results, but you are not required to do so in order to purchase. StrateGene requires one to learn some basics of biochemistry, genetics and epigenetics. We hel

Will the StrateGene Report explain my chronic health issues or report on diseases?

No, StrateGene does not explain your chronic health issues or report on diseases. Instead, StrateGene may help identify genetic variations that increase your susceptibility to various health problems. For example, if you’re struggling with insomnia,

Does StrateGene report on ancestry?

No. StrateGene is focused on health, not ancestral findings.

Will StrateGene tell me which lab tests to order for further investigation into my health?

No. This is up to your qualified healthcare professional to determine the best lab tests for you. If you want a place to start for lab testing, the Lab Testing appendix in Dirty Genes is very thorough and can help you and your health professional mak
