Personal genome scan gives an overall picture of your genetic risk for many of the most common diseases, an in-depth analysis for each medical trait or condition, and a full ancestry scan all in one package. Details of the package are as follows:

1. Genetic risk factors for 42 traits and conditions
deCODEme provides you with an introduction to your genome under expert guidance by a world leader in human genetics. We will analyze your genetic information, store it securely and give you up-to-date information about your gene profile.

Through a variety of sources, including deCODE genetics own pioneering research in population genetics, we have collected and annotated the most accurate and validated information available on genetic variations which have been associated with an average, higher or lower risk of common diseases. We will give you both detailed scientific background and the means to study how this knowledge applies to you.

The current list of diseases includes: Abdominal aortic aneurysm, Age-related macular degeneration, Alzheimer's disease, Asthma, Atrial fibrillation, Bladder cancer, Breast cancer, Celiac disease, Colorectal cancer, Crohn's disease, Exfoliation glaucoma, Heart attack, Hemochromatosis, Intracranial aneurysm, Lactose intolerance, Lung cancer, Multiple sclerosis, Obesity, Peripheral arterial disease, Prostate cancer, Psoriasis, Restless legs syndrome, Rheumatoid arthritis, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, Venous thromboembolism. The disease list will be updated continuously as new discoveries are made.

2. Complete Ancestry Scan
Your DNA has been passed between generations for hundreds of centuries. deCODEme allows you to virtually reconstruct the geographical distribution of your ancestors back hundreds or even thousands of generations

Through an intuitive interface, you will be able to view how your mother and father and their ancestors contributed to your genome and how much of your genome is derived from people from Africa, Europe or Asia. We offer a clear and concise analysis of this information with user-friendly explanations and graphics.

3. Compare your results to friends and family
make you truly unique. Now you can see how your genetic profile differs and compares to the profile of an acquaintance, friend or family member.

deCODEme allows you to send invitations or accept invitations from other users who wish to compare and contrast genetic profiles. This feature is highly secure and restricted: No user will be able to see any private information about you - unless you have explicitly opted to share those details. Other users will never be able to see your actual genetic profile or any other detailed information about your genome.

4. Advanced features
There is a good deal more to exploring your genome than learning about your susceptibility to particular diseases.

In this section, you can look at various characteristics and traits that you have inheritied and which, in some cases, are beneficial rather than deterimental to your health.

The current list of characteristics includes: Alcohol Flush Reaction, Bitter Taste Perception, Male Pattern Baldness, Nicotine Dependence. The characteristics list will be updated continuously as new discoveries are made.

5. Regular updates
Not only will you benefit directly from the knowledge and experience of scientists carrying out internationally renowned research, you will generally hear about new discoveries before anyone else. Nobody does it better!
