In a world full of wellness fads and health advice, your DNA doesn’t lie. But what does it really mean when we, genetic testing company, say your DNA test is “99% accurate”? And how does that impact the way you use your results?
Let’s break it down.
✅ Reliable Data You Can Trust
At SuperDNA, your genetic sample is analysed using cutting-edge genotyping or sequencing technology, processed in ISO-certified laboratories, and interpreted using evidence-based scientific models. This allows us to read your genetic code with over 99% technical accuracy.
SNP genotyping platforms, like those used in clinical and research settings, demonstrate call rates of 99.5–99.9%, with over 99% concordance between duplicates【1】【2】.
Even low-coverage whole genome or exome sequencing methods typically achieve >99% accuracy when processed using validated pipelines【3】.
This means the presence or absence of a gene variant in your report is highly reliable — a critical foundation before any interpretation begins.
🏅 ISO-Certified Labs: Why It Matters
SuperDNA laboratory certified under ISO 15189 and ISO/IEC 17025, internationally recognised standards for:
-
Medical laboratory quality
-
Technical competence in testing and calibration
-
Reproducible, reliable results
These standards ensure that from sample handling to data reporting, the entire process follows strict quality control protocols【4】.
💼 Medical Device Approval (MDA): What It Means for You
SuperDNA’s sample collection kits are registered with Malaysia’s Medical Device Authority (MDA) under the Medical Device Act 2012 (Act 737). This confirms that:
-
The kits are safe, validated, and manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)
-
The materials are medically approved for human biological sample collection【5】
Together, these elements ensure that both sample collection and laboratory analysis meet global health and safety benchmarks.
📊 Confident, Personalised Recommendations
We don’t stop at accurate lab data. SuperDNA uses Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) models that aggregate the effects of hundreds to thousands of genetic variants — offering a far more comprehensive prediction of risk for common, complex diseases like:
-
Diabetes
-
Heart disease
-
Obesity
-
Breast cancer and many more
PRS is now recognised in academic and clinical settings as a statistically robust way to estimate an individual’s disease risk based on their genetic profile【6】【7】.
These scores are built using results from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), which have identified thousands of genetic markers associated with specific health traits. SuperDNA references both global and Asian-specific datasets to ensure cultural and population relevance【8】【9】.
🚫 But It’s Not a Crystal Ball
While the genetic data is accurate, it’s still not a diagnosis. DNA testing shows your genetic predisposition, not your destiny.
-
You may carry gene variants associated with high cholesterol, but your lifestyle choices still greatly influence whether you develop the condition.
-
You may be genetically sensitive to caffeine, but the impact on your energy or sleep can still vary based on your environment and habits.
❤️ Why It Matters
Think of your DNA report as your personal health GPS.
It doesn’t decide your destination — but it helps you start with a clearer, more accurate map of where you’re starting from.
When your DNA is tested with 99% accuracy, in ISO-certified labs, using MDA-approved kits, and interpreted through globally validated scientific models — you’re empowered to make smarter, more personalised health choices.
