  4. What is the Other Test Results - Factoid Results page? faq id: 1878

    The Other Test Results - Factoid Results page is where you may view your Factoid test results.

    Factoids are curiosity tests for gene variants. They are based on studies, often controversial, from popular science. They do not serve the purpose of medical advice, and we do not intend results to diagnose diseases or medical conditions. Other genetic and environmental variables may also influence these same physiological characteristics. These Factoid tests are offered exclusively for curiosity purposes, i.e., to see how your results compare with what scientific papers say. They are merely a conversational piece, or as we like to call them, "cocktail party" tests.

    *  A value of "0" for any marker indicates that the lab reported a null value for this marker. Our labs retest all cases of null values multiple times to confirm their accuracy. Mutations causing null values are infrequent, but fathers pass on null values to their sons just like other Y-DNA mutations. Therefore, related male lineages such as a father and a son are likely to share null values.
