CLIA-Certified Genetic Testing: Why Lab Quality Matters

CLIA certification is the federal standard that determines whether a genetic lab can produce results a qualified healthcare provider can actually act on. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test uses Illumina Global Screening Array genotyping at CLIA-certified labs — processing 58 SNPs across 49 genes for 150+ genetic insights. This post explains what CLIA certification requires and why the standard matters.

Genetics as a Guide, Not a Guarantee: What DNA Can and Cannot Tell You

Genetic testing reveals tendencies, not outcomes — a FOXO3 variant doesn't predict lifespan, a slow-COMT variant doesn't diagnose any condition, an ACTN3 XX genotype doesn't cap muscle growth. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes 14 pathways, 49 peptides, and 150+ genetic insights. Understanding what DNA can and cannot tell you is the difference between informed and overconfident.
