Why you should upgrade to MyHeritage Health
Broadest BRCA coverage
MyHeritage detects 103 variants for hereditary BRCA cancers. This coverage is much more extensive than that of the competing brands. MyHeritage has a 70% better detection rate for hereditary BRCA cancers and also offers a report for PALB2-associated breast cancer.
Innovative polygenic risk reports
For many of the most common diseases worldwide, including heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity and high BMI (unique to MyHeritage), female breast cancer, and type 2 diabetes. Most customers are eligible to receive these reports.
Valuable insights about genetic risk
Detailed genetic risk estimates for 20 conditions including celiac disease, colorectal cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and age-related macular degeneration.
Protection against false positives
MyHeritage’s test includes Sanger sequencing of positive results to significantly reduce false positives.
Physician oversight
In the United States, MyHeritage works with an independent network of physicians called PWNHealth, which supervises the service and provides clinical oversight. This includes genetic counseling if recommended by the supervising physician. This means you’re not on your own to interpret the results of your health testing.
Enhanced privacy and data protection
Results are encrypted with a unique password that only you know. MyHeritage is the only company that pledges to never share data with insurance companies.
The MyHeritage Health subscription gives you access to all new health reports as they are released, without the need to re-test your DNA. The Health subscription also grants you access to all of our advanced DNA features for genealogy that previously required a MyHeritage site subscription (such as viewing family trees of DNA matches, viewing shared matches and ethnicities, and shared ancestral places).
