State
A genomic risk result is not a diagnosis, because most common diseases are polygenic and environmentally modulated, so a flagged variant shifts probability, not certainty.
Show
Two people can carry the same disease-associated variant and never develop the same condition, since other factors still shape the outcome.
Watch for
A clean risk result does not guarantee the disease will never develop.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
