Promethease: All Uploads Are Free through Jan 15 2018. Existing Dna File Required (Ancestry, Ftdna, MyHeritage etc)

190

Your humble Ancestry.com / FamilyTreeDNA file gives detailed health information in Promethease. This is a potentially life changing freebie for some if you can fathom the medical content.

Promethease is a literature retrieval system that builds a personal DNA report based on connecting a file of DNA genotypes to the scientific findings cited in SNPedia.

Biomedical researchers, healthcare practitioners and customers of DNA testing services (such as 23andMe, Ancestry.com, FamilyTreeDNA, Genos, etc.) use Promethease to retrieve information published about their DNA variations. Most reports are produced in under 10 minutes.

Before you may use Promethease to retrieve information about the human genome, you must read and agree to the following statements. Please read each statement and check the box next to each one and then click 'I Agree'.
- I understand that the information provided in my Promethease report is based on SNPedia.com and that my report is for educational and research purposes only.
- I understand that my report is deleted after 45 days but that I can download it before it is deleted and that I can regenerate it, if I create an account.
- I realize that most published reports about DNA variations explain only a small part of the heritability of a trait, and they also don't take into account how different variants might interact. In addition, published reports typically ignore environmental, dietary, microbial, medical history and lifestyle factors, any or all of which may well affect my true risk for any trait or disease.
- I am aware that I am strongly encouraged to discuss my Promethease report with a doctor, genetic counselor or other health-care provider prior to making any medical or reproductive decisions. I also acknowledge that I am advised to confirm any significant finding discovered in part through the use of Promethease by an independent, clinically validated test for use in connection with the medical trait in question.
- I have read and understand the Privacy Policy and the Legal Terms and Conditions of this website. I agree to these conditions.
- I accept the risk of learning that I may be at high risk for a debilitating disease.

    Done! Thanks OP

    There is an abundance of info on this site. Worth doing.

  • So you need to be DNA tested for this to work? Does it just tell you what you are most likely to have disease wise? Watch the video but still unsure what you would use this for exactly.

      Yes you need to already have done a DNA test and have received a file with the results. I did an ancestry DNA test a year ago and saved the file they emailed me. The ancestry report was obviously about my ancestors etc but when you upload the .csv file to this site it prepares a report that goes through your genes and highlights any where you might have a problem. It lists some with a red outline which are possibly bad and gives you links to research that show a possible link that you are possibly 1.5 x more likely to get a certain type of cancer or others with a green background that show you are less likely to get parkinsons disease etc. Mine are interesting as several things my old Dad is now suffering from or has suffered from in recent years are showing up time and again in my results!!!

      • Cool, how much was the DNA test?

        • As an example, 23andme is 139.98 USD with standard shipping.

          Ancestry occasionally goes on special.

          @BlueSkyHarvest: This is what I did and this is the report file that I uploaded

  • Hey OP….So whats the normal cost for this service? I think it was pretty reasonable from memory?? yeah yeah, I know I could prob do my own googling but its easier to ask…

    • Normal cost is $5 USD

  • Lets give this a go.

    Thanks

    Interesting. I uploaded my data from Ancestry and now know that I have a 7x risk of male baldness (too late) and a 3x risk of developing alcoholic liver disease. Might drop down to less than one bottle of wine per night then…. ;-)

    On a more positive side, I am likely to have a "younger, healthier kidney function" as my "creatinine clearance is approximately that of someone 4–5 years younger who does not carry the A allele". Oh, and my rs3746444(T;T) shows I have a decreased breast cancer risk, based on "microRNA 1,009 breast cancer cases and 1,093 controls in a population of Chinese women". So I just need to work out how to become a Chinese woman.

    By the way, I had also had a FTdna test done some time ago, but that was a Y-37, not "Family Finder", and so is not accepted by Promethease (https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/FamilyTreeDNA).

  • Interesting news piece last year about insurance companies using test results to discriminate customers that show a history of certain illnesses.

    I applied for coverage with ClearView insurance and they have a question on their life insurance application specifically asking if you’ve taken one of these tests.
