tellmeGen Reviews 130

Incorrect result and nonchalant customer service!
I bought the family kit for inheritance conditions, specifically interested in the result of Birt-Hogg-Dube, as a radiologist had recently raised suspicions from viewing a chest x-ray. A BHD patient needs to be monitored I various ways annually as 30% of BHD ppl will get malignt kidney cancer (at a much younger age (-20) her age than kidney cancer average for non BHD patients. So monitoring is crucial.

The TellMeGen test came back negative for BHD. Which then led to an even bigger health scare as another strong option to my lung condition could be Tuberous sclerosis. But after months of test, via state health care, blood work came back positive for BHD and that is now my formal diagnosis.
TellMeGen does not claim to be a tool for diagnosis, and they clearly only test for the most common known mutations per condition, NOT ALL, and in my case with the BHD it seems to be a Scandinavian/European strand of the mutation that is not included in the TellMeGen test. Just an FYI.

But the reason why I write this negative review is mostly because when I reached out to TellmeGen to let them know that I have a BHD diagnosis and that their test clearly didn’t cover that mutation in their test, offering them more information so that they could include this into their test to avoid more ppl getting a false negative for BHD, not ever asking for a refund just offering information. They never responded. Which speaks volumes.

If you are worried about something and am looking for answers. This company is not the answer.

Scarily accurate and has made me have some thoughts about how hEDS (a condition I have) is presented in genes that are more general than other forms of EDS. Also, the genetic links to traits that link to autism is clear, again, in a generalised way but it is interesting to see it all in ine place. Also the pharmacology interactions were dead on the money and explain a lot.

Now I finally know why my family is suffering/prone to diseases, and I know what traits I have thanks to this company! well appreciated!

It's hard to believe you can get such a detailed DNA test for such a small amount of money. This is life changing. It helped us prevent future diseases. And their customer support is brilliant too. Well done!

I have really enjoyed this process. It was SO easy to do and results were speedy. Amazing to read the ancestry results and compare to my daughter's. Great to know health results as well. Very professional crew and always willing to help.

First this was a lot faster than we expected! The detail of the DNA results is amazing and will take much more digging into. Ancestry, disease potential, body information, all excellent.

I am absolutely impressed with the details and results, not only for telling me about my ancestors, but also for my health, predisposition to illness, and detail about each organ, strengths and weakness. WOW! I am ordering it now for my whole family.

Very efficient and custom friendly service, always in touch and ready to answer questions. I got so much helpful and revealing information about my health for very decent price.

Bought a DNA kit from Telmegen, first class service in terms of response, quality of the products, and excellent support.
Thank you for the professional service, do recommend it.

I am so glad with the experience of tellmeGen. I did analysis of ancestry using starter kit. I received quickly the kit. the kit is very clear simple and efficient. thank you a lot. I feel exited to buy the advanced kit.

All the processes were very quick and problem-free, highly recommended.

Very happy with the genetic test I ordered. Plus, the results arrived ahead of schedule. I recommend it.

The process went perfectly because everything was well explained. The results were delivered before the announced deadline. I highly recommend it.

Very happy! It's very simple to use. Shipping to the laboratory is included. The results came to me a few days before the scheduled date and with a lot of very useful ones. I am recommending it to everyone.

I bought it as a gift and the person I gave it to was thrilled, the results came after a few weeks of waiting and are very useful both for health purposes (knowing genetic predisposition to diseases) and to learn a bit about your past, advice!

Everything was spot on time. Amazing team patiently responded to every query raised during the whole shipment process. Results were delivered spot on promised time. Been going thru the results surprised and happy... traits mentioned are spot on... HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I was really pleasantly surprised that the issue we had with the service and the delay was resolved personally by the CEO. All questions were quickly clarified and answered. I'm very happy now.

It may attract curiosity to discover one's genetic origins, but perhaps the greatest utility lies in knowing the genetic predisposition to diseases. It may prove to be a useful tool for doctors who need to define a diagnosis in special cases.

I was skeptical but I'm pretty impressed. I knew before that I had a gene mutation. This was proven five years ago with a complex blood test. Here you spit into a tube and get the same result - if it had been possible earlier, I might not have fallen ill. Highly recommended.

I had a very pleasant experience with tellmegen! Not only were their instructions clear as day (my biggest fear was messing up getting my DNA to them) my DNA kit was received lightening fast by them. The results took a couple weeks, but I was sent an email about their completion. After logging in into my personal and secure account, I was able to pull up my results right away. They are VERY thorough, detailed and spot on from what I know from my personal family history. It was very interesting to learn about myself, which will help me be healthier in the future as I know what I am more prone to.
