reporting company founded in 2014 with offices around the world. It is owned by Prenetics, a genetic testing company from Southeast Asia. Its 500 staff members are focused on a mission of preventative medicine. It wants to empower people to prevent disease before even falling ill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company offers gene sequencing services, as well as over 500 reports included across 20 basic categories. It also provides complementary one-on-one sessions with a <a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/what-is-genetic-counseling\/\">genetic counselor<\/a> as a side benefit of its DNA kits. In addition, using technology from Illumina, Circle provides Whole Exome Sequencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its whole-exome sequencing collects 31 million data points, more than typical genotyping tests. Genetic counseling also makes CircleDNA stand out versus competitors like 23andMe and AncestryDNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The website claims to have processed over 300,000 DNA samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcf0ef\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/whole-genome-sequencing-dna-test\/\">Are you interested in sequencing your entire genome? Nebula Genomics offers Whole Genome Sequencing that decodes 100% of your DNA as opposed to CircleDNA\u2019s Whole Exome Sequencing that only sequences 1% of your genome!

Each choice of testing kit corresponds to a different set of health reports and focus areas. Only some of the DNA test kits include genetic counseling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DNA Tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CircleDNA\u2019s test for each of these products is an at-home test. All of the health kits rely on a cheek swab to get started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The test itself does not take a lot of time to complete. First, users order one of four test kit options. Then, they can perform a cheek swab scraping with their DNA collection kit and ship it back to CircleDNA for processing. Upon processing, tests are validated by the Croucher Laboratory of Human Genomics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sample processing takes about 18 business days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the DNA sample is processed, users receive their personalized reports on the CircleDNA app. PDF versions of these reports are also available online. All kits include some form of consultation with genetic health professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-options\">Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vital DNA Test ($170): <\/strong>This lowest tier product gives users 125 reports about diet lifestyle, nutrition, fitness, wellness, and more. It <strong>does not<\/strong> come with a complementary one-on-one genetic counseling session. However, it does come with a 30-minute complementary consultation with a genetics-trained health coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Health DNA Test ($499): <\/strong>This product gives users actionable information about cancer and disease prevention. The product includes 36 reports for cancer risk alone and 115 reports in total. It does come with a complementary one-on-one genetics counseling session but does not include health coaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Family Planning DNA Test ($499): <\/strong>This product gives users information about their genetic risks for disease. It is marketed towards couples who want to start a family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Family Planning DNA Test offers 163 reports, each corresponding to a specific disease or disorder. Thirty-eight relate to neonatal &amp; early childhood death, such as Gracile Syndrome. 116 relate to diseases that shorten lifespan and childhood death, such as cystic fibrosis. 71 of the reported diseases carry a significant risk for intellectual disability, such as phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It does come with a complementary one-on-one genetic counseling session but does not include health coaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Circle DNA Premium DNA Test ($566): <\/strong>This highest tier offering includes all lower tiers bundled into one package. With 500+ reports and 20 categories of gene analysis, Circle refers to the premium kit as \u201cthe world\u2019s most comprehensive DNA test.\u201d It also includes a lifetime subscription to future genomic data updates, which it normally sells for $69. In addition, this product comes with both genetic professional and health consultation sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-circledna-genetic-counseling\">CircleDNA Genetic Counseling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CircleDNA is not a clinical genomic testing company. This means that users can order their tests themselves, without needing a referral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It does offer genetic counseling and health coaching about your genetic blueprint. Each kit includes one genetic counseling session, although the Vital DNA Test counseling is with a health coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Circle\u2019s genetic health professionals aim to walk users through their results. They provide actionable insights based on what they\u2019ve learned. This could mean fitness regimens, nutritional advice, or understandings related to family genetic risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These services are not covered by health insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-review-of-circledna-reports\"><strong>Review of CircleDNA Reports <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CircleDNA\u2019s reporting options offer a lot of health information and its ancestry report includes European, Asian and African ancestry.

Nebula users can also bring that DNA data to Nebula for further analysis. And for users who take their DNA data elsewhere, Nebula offers an easy export option.
