A single-letter change in the DNA sequence.

READING THE PANELS
First — how to read one of these rows.
Every card on the other spokes is the same three-beat translation the rest of this site uses: the gene and the letters I carry, the mechanism in the report’s language, then how that can show up.
SHORT VERSION
Read the row the same way you read a scan.
- A letter change is not a disease.
- The report rates how strongly a row might contribute — that is its language, not mine.
- I translate mechanism first, then how it can show up. I do not invent missing fields.
THE GLOSSARY
A few words get used a lot. Here they are once.
This is not a diagnosis.
IntellxxDNA describes itself as a clinical decision-support tool for licensed providers — one input next to a full history, an exam, and labs — not something meant to diagnose or treat illness on its own. Nothing on these pages is a diagnosis. These are small DNA changes that by themselves are not disease-causing. They can matter as they interact with each other and with diet, lifestyle, and environment.
The less common version of the sequence. It can convey benefit or risk — it is not automatically bad.
The two letters actually carried, one allele inherited from each parent.
0, 1, or 2 minor alleles. Two copies generally means a stronger effect.
How common this exact genotype is in the population.
The report’s own Low / Medium / High rating for likelihood and strength of contribution.
1.0 means no difference from baseline. 2.79 means roughly 2.79× the reference risk. Printed for some SNPs only.
Both copies are the same.
Using genotype to predict how someone will respond to a specific drug.
WHAT I DID
I learned the translation before I argued with a row.
No supplement starts on this spoke. The intervention here is literacy: same three beats as the scans, jargon defined on first use, missing fields left blank.
CROSS-CHECK
A primer does not overlap an image.
NO OVERLAP
How to read a row is not a SPECT or QEEG finding. The other two instruments live on their own pages. I am not forcing a match.
KEEP GOING
The adjacent threads sit one click away.
How it works is the primer. The library is the index. The other spokes are the payload.
