Important limits and omissions

The official page makes the published scope claim “000 marker.” It does not include a complete named marker list, so you cannot verify every inclusion from the current public evidence before ordering.
The Starter tier does not include the broader health-predisposition, carrier-status, and pharmacogenetics scope of tellmeGen's higher tiers. If this detail affects your choice, verify it with the provider before ordering.

The full breakdown

Eight Dimensions.
One Named Result.

Open any row for the reasoning and evidence behind the named result.

The published purchase price is $94.99. Any add-on fees, renewals, or checkout differences should be confirmed before purchase.

The reviewed record covers tellmeGen's Starter DNA Test; the provider's results pages describe ancestry, health, traits, wellness, monogenic disease, and pharmacogenomic reporting areas.

The Starter DNA Test is positioned for consumers seeking DNA-based insight into ancestry, health, and traits, sold through tellmeGen's shop.

The provider documents symptom context to help buyers understand the results. The record does not establish that this support replaces individualized medical advice.

Starter DNA Test documents what is collected and measured. The documented specimen is saliva. The provider identifies sequencing for at least part of the measurement process.

The documented ordering route includes at-home collection and online ordering. Collection uses saliva. A reliable product-specific turnaround is not confirmed.

The provider publishes privacy terms addressing data sharing and research use. Product-specific retention and deletion timing may still require confirmation.

The provider publishes an exact first-party product page, a published price, the specimen, and the included scope. The record still does not confirm provider-specific method, report format, analytical performance, and retention details remain unresolved unless explicitly stated in the source set.
