Decoding variants: Analyzing genetic test results

<p><strong><em>What you get back from a genetic test result:</em></strong></p> <p>&ldquo;What you end up with is sort of a list, and then a shorthand that is used describe when there is a variant ... So there&rsquo;s three letter codons that each correspond to an amino acid, but most amino acids can have more than one codon all going to the same place. So there&rsquo;s some tolerance if you have a mutation in there without a change in the protein coding sequence&rdquo;.</p> <p>&ldquo;You can also describe this in the level of DNA the DNA at this location is no longer an A, it is a T and that may or may not have an effect on the protein coding sequence.&rdquo;</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/llmed-ai/decoding-variants-analyzing-genetic-test-results-b8452a4348e2"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
