- Analyzes the 5-HTTLPR region of SLC6A4
- Simple at-home cheek swab
Mood is shaped by many genes, life experience and environment, and research on this single variant is mixed. If you're struggling with your mental health, please reach out to a healthcare provider.

For educational and informational purposes only. This test does not diagnose anxiety, depression or any other condition.
Important limitations
- Genetic variants may indicate predispositions or tendencies. They don't confirm a diagnosis, and a result only covers the variants tested.
- Behaviour and personality are shaped by many genes, environment and life experience. No single variant determines how a person acts.
- This test does not diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any condition, and it can't establish the cause of symptoms.
