I recently received the raw data from a consumer genomics test, and while the ancestry results were interesting, I'm completely overwhelmed by the health and trait reports that reference various SNPs and risk markers. I have a basic biology background, but interpreting this data feels like reading another language. For others who have navigated this, what resources or tools did you find most helpful for making sense of your raw genomic data beyond the company's basic interface? How did you approach discussing potentially concerning markers with a healthcare professional who may not be familiar with direct-to-consumer genetic testing, and did you find any third-party analysis services worth the cost for deeper insights?
