How the map is built
Science
GeneMap is an informational product. You download a raw genotype file from your own 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or MyHeritage account. We check which of 40 well-studied markers are present in that file, then show a plain-language map with research notes and questions for a clinician.
The 40-marker panel
Panel version 1 (updated 2026-09-23). Markers are grouped by theme. Evidence grades below are GeneMap panel grades (A / B / C) tied to the public source type on each marker — not a clinical lab assay score.
One peptide didn’t work for me. After I ran my DNA file, the map pointed at a different one — and that one did.
One person’s story — not a promise. GeneMap does not prescribe or guarantee outcomes.
| Theme | Markers | What it covers (plain English) |
|---|---|---|
| Metabolism & glucose / incretin | 6 | Conversation anchors such as TCF7L2, FTO, PPARG, ACTN3, BDNF, SOD2 — talk-sheet context, not a prescription. |
| Pharmacogenomics | 9 | Drug-response conversation markers (for example SLCO1B1, CYP2C19, CYP1A2, CYP2D6, CYP2C9) sourced from CPIC / PharmGKB where noted. |
| Vitamin metabolism | 5 | Vitamin D and related pathways (GC, VDR, CYP2R1, MTHFR variants) for clinician discussion of labs and lifestyle — not dosing advice. |
| Cardiometabolic | 8 | Well-studied cardiometabolic anchors (including F5, F2, HFE, MTNR1B, GCKR and related) mapped from public literature. |
| Everyday traits | 12 | Traits people already recognize — caffeine, sleep-adjacent, taste, pigmentation-adjacent, and similar GWAS Catalog themes. |
Evidence source mix on the current panel: GWAS Catalog (28) · CPIC (7) · PharmGKB (5). See research databases.
Pipeline in plain English
-
1
You download your raw file
From your own 23andMe, AncestryDNA, or MyHeritage account. GeneMap never asks for those logins and never scrapes those sites.
-
2
Browser check
We read the file in the upload flow, detect format, and count how many of the 40 panel markers are called vs not on your chip.
-

Short preview after pay
You enter email, pay €19.99, then unlock the full informational report — typically about 2 minutes.

Map of called vs not-on-chip
Markers present in your file get genotype context and research notes. Markers missing from your chip are labeled honestly as not on chip — we never invent genotypes.

Questions for a clinician
The report includes discussion prompts and curated educational video links. GeneMap does not diagnose, prescribe, or dose.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or process clinical genetic tests under a lab license.
- We do not diagnose disease, prescribe medicines, or recommend doses.
- We do not sequence your DNA or run a wet lab.
- We do not invent genotypes for markers that are not on your chip.
- We do not invent citations, PMIDs, or evidence chips.
- We are not affiliated with Ancestry, 23andMe, or MyHeritage.
- We do not claim hospital, university, or IRB sponsorship unless separately evidenced (none claimed here).
