Genetic information, organized with plain-language context.
Eligens reports organize ancestry and health-related genetic information into sections with plain-language context.
Reports are informational and are not a diagnosis. The absence of identified variants does not rule out the possibility of developing a condition.
Potentially important findings may require specialist consultation and clinical confirmation.
Everything you need is inside the kit
The kit contains everything needed to collect your saliva sample at home. The same sample is used to create your ancestry, health, nutrition, fitness and longevity reports.
Register the kit in the app, provide the sample and follow the included instructions to send it to the laboratory.

Health limitations & residual risk
Eligens reports describe genetic predispositions and probabilities. They are not a diagnosis. The absence of identified risk variants may reduce the estimated genetic risk but does not eliminate the possibility of developing a condition. Health is also influenced by age, lifestyle, environment, family history and many other factors.
People who took the test tell it better than we can
“The DNA analysis revealed my Peruvian roots and also information about my genetic predispositions to certain diseases. Very detailed and easy to understand.”
“Discovering my ancestry was fascinating — I found family connections I didn't know about. The longevity and risk insights genuinely changed how I think about my habits.”
“I did a DNA test with Eligens and I’m pleased with the results. My personal account has my ancestry, relatives in the database and helpful health information — some mutations were new to me. I recommend it to anyone looking for a DNA test with different data, not just ancestry.”
Questions about Ancestry + Health
Do you ship the DNA test kit?
Yes. The at-home saliva kit ships internationally. Delivery options and the final total are shown at checkout.
Are reports available in English?
Yes. Reports in the Eligens app are available in English. They are informational and are not a diagnosis.
Is Eligens a medical diagnosis?
No. Eligens reports provide genetic information, probabilities and educational insights. They are not a diagnosis, treatment plan or replacement for professional medical care.
Does a low genetic risk mean I cannot develop the condition?
No. A lower genetic risk or the absence of identified risk variants does not rule out the possibility of developing a condition. Lifestyle, environment, age, family history and other factors also matter.
What should I do if Eligens finds an increased risk?
Potentially important findings may require consultation with a healthcare professional and clinical confirmation.
What happens to my saliva sample?
After the generated genetic data passes quality control, the remaining biological material is permanently destroyed. It cannot be used for future research, transferred to third parties or analyzed again.
Where is genetic data stored?
Genetic data is encrypted during transmission and storage. It is stored using protected AWS and Google infrastructure located in Germany and processed in accordance with GDPR requirements.
