Dante Labs condition reports look at the genes behind groups of inherited conditions, read from one whole-genome test. Each page says which conditions and genes a report covers, how it is read and what it cannot tell you.

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Eyelid spasm is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
